OFFICE OF THE VICE-CHANCELLOR (OVC) ADVISORY GROUP – INFORMATION MANAGEMENT POLICY AND STRATEGY
OVC Advisory Groups may be established from time-to-time with the prior approval of the Vice-Chancellor and will be executive in function.
The purpose of such groups is to support the Chief Executive’s Group (CEG) member concerned in his or her executive function in relation to a specific area of his or her portfolio of responsibilities, by offering advice on strategy, operations management and scenario planning. Such groups may be thematic, reflecting key strategic priorities of the University, or more project-based and hence limited in time and scope.
