Why new ways of working?• Long record of providing quality
certificated courses for London organisations
• With employer’s changing needs and reducing budgets, we need to be more flexible and imaginative
• With reduced conventional sources we have to find new funding streams

How NELFT project developed
• Needs were increasingly for leadership and management
• We sought to understand their needs and made a proposal
• Two existing modules - one from FHSC and the other from BuS – each tailored to NELFT’s context.
• A key theme as that a NELFT executive would contribute to each session

NELFT wanted flexibility regarding qualifications, LSBU credits, a CMI Certificate or none.

The Challenges 1• Need a culture, backed by systems and
delegated authorities, which prioritises process of winning contracts
• Pricing via fEC forms is not conducive to commercial practices
• Success requires there to be systems in place for non-standard activity
• Staff at all levels need to put developing new ways of working as a high priority

The Challenges 2• A sales approach (or rolling out a successful
package from elsewhere) does not work• Consulting skills to help the client understand
their needs and create resourceful solutions• It is very unlike classroom teaching• Project managing IGA assignments is time-
consuming and demanding• The university is not geared to Saturday
working eg room booking, cleaning and catering
