Creating a Global BUzz

globalbuzz

Over 50 staff from across the University gathered for our #GlobalBUzz workshop this week to commence our journey toward co-creating a Global BU by 2020. Lots of ideas, imaginations and innovations were suggested for both the content and context of our plans. The framework within which we are developing this plan is being referred to as the 6:3:1 framework. 6 objectives, 3 enablers and 1 goal. Simples!

The opportunity, as we shape this, lies in asking some pertinent questions about what we do, how we do and why we do it in the context of this plan. For example:

  • What does a Global BU look like in its physical environment?
  • What does a Global BU look like in its virtual/technological environment?
  • What does a Global BU look like in its intellectual environment?

And,

  • What will this mean for our curricular, co curricular and extra curricular offer to our students?
  • What will this mean for our staff experience?
  • What will this mean for our research activity? And so forth…

I believe we can shape global futures for our students, staff and organisations alike. “So lets bring the globe to BU and take BU around the globe too”, a comment from the workshop which has stayed with me!

In the meantime, connect with me on @PVCBU or @linked in or pvcglobal@bournemouth.ac.uk so we can keep the conversations going. More in the New Year!
