Policy and Process

Get policy and process down to a ‘P’

Policies and processes. The two magic Ps in timetabling and space management.

Why? Because together, they have the power to create calm and keep everyone on the same track. Get them working in sync, and the results can be magical – a happier and more efficient team, timetables that work for everyone, better use of teaching space across your estate, and ultimately time and money saved.

The secret to smooth timetabling and space management

Changes to the curriculum, course delivery, campus size mean processes often need updating. Policies meanwhile sit in dusty digital corners, waiting to be updated under a mountain of other tasks (in our own poll, 90% of you said your current timetable policy needs some TLC). The two become disjointed and contradict each other, which then causes confusion (and disagreements) when it comes to your timetabling process!

Twice the gains (and then some)

Policies get everyone working toward the same goals. Processes translate these goals into clear, actionable steps. Together they guide you and your team on each step of the journey – from big picture planning to day-to-day management. Both are effective in their own right, but when you tackle policy and process together, the benefits more than double.  

Find and fix the gaps

We dive into your existing policies and processes to see where they’re singing from the same song-sheet, and what’s creating a lack of harmony. We also look at your institution’s goals. Then we work out a plan to get them all in sync, and help you put it into practice – freeing you from the task and ultimately making scheduling smoother, easier and far less stressful for all involved.

Support at every step

Your policy and processes are just the beginning. We can help you champion them internally. Update all your associated documents. Get colleagues up to speed and using them. And help you regularly review your two Ps, so that they can continue to work their magic.
