The Project
Strategic challenge
To support the School to achieve EQUIS re-accreditation during a period of intense transition
Our accreditation expert, Mark Thomas PHD, worked collaboratively with the Accreditation Team at the business school providing external experience, expertise and perspective to:
-
enhance the progress report and prepare a robust and cohesive Self-Assessment Report (SAR) with an authentic voice and positive story demonstrating continuous improvement and progress with the identified Areas of Required Improvement (AoRI)
-
undertake a Mock Peer Review, constructively advising on and recommending actions to ensure the Business School was fully prepared for the Peer Review Visit
-
mentor the Accreditation Team throughout the process, sharing knowledge and experience to build the skills for future accreditation rounds.
Outcomes
The School successfully achieved EQUIS re-accreditaton with strong commendations for the work it had done during the cycle.
Feedback
“Just wanted to say a BIG thank you for all of your support this year, it’s been fantastic working with you, and we have both learnt so much!” Accreditation Team
“We are indebted to you for all your help. We found last week’s practice run and feedback invaluable – thank you for all the time and commitment. The report is a very helpful aide memoire of your extremely lucid and constructive feedback. We are now much clearer on what we need to do.”
