Houston, we have a problem
Why….
Our history. Can’t decide when we were founded or what we are called
Mergers and acquisitions –and a very angry daughter

No burning platform, no investment, very devolved structures
(though possibly our toes are getting singed)

What to do? A three-pronged approach
• A brand narrative:
a clear, consistent story
• Demonstrate success;
change the discourse
• Step into the leadership void
and raise the bar for the team

At Queen Mary
University of London,
we believe that a
diversity of ideas
helps us achieve
the previously
unthinkable.
Throughout our history, we’ve fostered social justice
and improved lives through academic excellence. And
we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not
because it’s simply ‘the right thing to do’ but for what it
helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it
delivers.
We continue to embrace diversity of thought and
opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when
views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives
intersect, truly original thought takes form.

Take homes• In a university like mine, it’s all
about relationships
• The basics matter: data matters, evidence matters, rigour matters
• Above all, people matter
• Senior management can be like magpies
• Use the toys – sparingly
• Admit failure and talk about success.. and keep talking
