Market context for releasing value
Business need to secure investment Competitive recruitment environment Student expectations Tuition fees Overseas market
Too much debt on balance sheet constrains a University’s ability to react
Method of release must be such that University is then not overly constrained by the new arrangements; new arrangements must be financially sustainable
University still needs to be able to react to changes in the market going forward
Focus on income stream based business (supported by business cases) not property asset based business
