Delivering change at York
The University operates in a constantly changing environment, meaning we are always facing new challenges and looking for opportunities in order to achieve our University Strategy.
To address challenges and opportunities, we sometimes need to make significant shifts in our business processes, structures or ways of working. To deliver these, we develop “change projects” that are designed to help us manage the move from our current state to a desired end state. These are usually formalised projects, overseen by a change management approach, with input from lots of staff and students across the University.
Whether big or small, change happens best when we understand the purpose and how we’ll go about it. These pages provide an overview on how we approach change at York, including practical guidance, exercises and learning materials designed to support you and your team in navigating new developments, or even managing your own change.
You can also find information on current and recently completed change projects across the University.
Tools and guidance
The practical guidance, exercises, and learning materials on these pages are designed to support you and your team in creating and navigating change, as we work towards our University Vision 2030.
