Forming Partnerships
The best people to decide a university’s strategy are its own board and faculty heads.
Without freedom to operate – with appropriate checks and balances – Oakwood could not form partnerships.
Build partnerships on a set of principles. The golden rule is understanding each other. Spend time on the agenda of each Develop win-win partnerships

Oakwood’s Best Practices
University leadership is vital. Long-term strategic partnerships with built-in flexibility work best. Start with a shared vision and develop a strategy. Put the right people in charge – those who cross boundaries and have the energy to keep up with the Government trends.

Oakwood’s Best Practices Kick-start the dialogue – encourage cross-fertilization of ideas Don’t get hung up on intellectual property (IP) Promote a multi-disciplinary approach to research and learning Redefine the role of the research university as a source of competence and problem-solving for society
Responsiveness: you have to respond…no matter what
WE ARE READY TO PARTNER WITH YOUIt has been a win-win, and
we couldn’t be prouder of our success in the government sector
