I was a programme leader for many years. My biggest dilemma was always to do with who I was representing at any one moment: staff, students or management. The prog leader is one of the key conduits through which the views of each are reported to the others and the interests of the groups are not synonymous with each other. Tricky!

One of the fun things they developed was a board game called The Dean's Dilemma. I recently re-discovered it in one of my old files and thought how it might be perfectly adapted to become The Programme Leader's Dilemma. It would be great if you could send me (off list) what you consider to be the dilemmas faced by programme leaders and I will collate and turn into a series of vignettes for the game. I will, of course, give full acknowledgement to all who reply and also a copy of the game once prepared. I hope to use it for the first time at a workshop in early June and, subject to feedback, offer it as a workshop at a SEDA event. > > > > all best > > Steve > > > > > HE Consultant and Researcher > Director, Centre for Recording Achievement > HEA Associate > > Mobile 0744 2040 955 > Skype steve.outram1 > >
