Implementation Report
On Saturday, June 24, 2017, the University Consortium Kyoto held the “2017 Kyoto FD Executive School.”
A total of 54 participants, mainly the presidents of member universities and junior colleges, and other faculty members of the university executive committee, gave a lecture titled “Trends in University Reform and Expectations for Faculty and Staff Who Will Be Responsible for University Management in the Future ~Through the Enhancement of SD and Promotion of Collaboration with the Teaching Profession~”.
In the first half of the lecture, he explained the recent trends surrounding university reform, such as the “Basic Policy for the Revitalization of Cities, People, and Jobs 2017” and the institutionalization of professional universities, and in the second half, he talked about the enhancement of SD and the promotion of collaboration among the teaching profession, taking into account the recent revision of the system for administrative staff and administrative organizations at universities and the current state of collaboration between the teaching profession.
Finally, in conclusion, governance reform requires not only leadership but also an organization to support it. He concluded his lecture by saying that he would like to see the university improve its organizational structure and make effective use of resources inside and outside the university, aiming for more agile university management.
According to the participant questionnaire, “I was able to gain a good understanding of the recent trend of university reform and collaboration with the teaching profession,” and “It was an opportunity to reconsider the issues of collaboration with the teaching profession and future policies.” “An hour wasn’t enough, I wanted to hear a little bit more.” We received such impressions.
