Institutions, large and small, are today having to be strategically responsive to a multitude of external and internal factors, some of which can be forecast whilst others are hard, if not impossible, to predict. Taking an evidence-based approach of ‘what works’ combined with our deep sectoral knowledge and experience, we work in partnership with you to bring about impactful and lasting change with your teaching and learning strategies and policy.
We support you to foster an environment enabling productive, committed teams and individuals to thrive. We support you in the development of a strategic framework which is both stretching and adaptive, and having the mechanisms to realise your strategy.

When I spoke with the team there, they listened to our needs, learned more about our context and designed and delivered this programme. Having worked with them for
over 12 months now I have learned that they also bring a flexibility and responsiveness to the context making this not only a bespoke and fit for purpose programme from the start but one that has evolved with our changing needs.”Professor Sherria Hoskins, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Science and Health, University of Portsmouth
Support across the full range of strategies
Advance HE’s support can cover sector-wide strategies and policies, institutional teaching and learning strategies, school or faculty strategies or thematic strategies.
Developing a whole institutional strategy
Through Advance HE’s expertise and knowledge of the latest good practice in higher education, policy horizon scanning and global network, we can support an institution in developing or reviewing their whole institutional strategy.
Thematic, enabling and tailored strategies
We can support the development of strategies that focus on:
- specific themes such as research, learning and teaching, international and enterprise and innovation
- enabling strategies such as a people, estates or wellbeing
- tailored strategies such as data security, climate and sustainability or marketing and communications.
Transforming culture
Our approach to supporting you in developing a strong and healthy culture recognises the complexities involved in defining, measuring and attempting to change ‘culture’, understanding it is not static, can be difficult to define, can be expressed and interpreted differently across the organisation, is rooted in personal and professional identities, involves power balances and is present and socialised at every level in an organisation. Every solution is co-designed with you, building on a rigorous diagnostic phase, taking into account the particulars of your requirements.
Working with Jisc
Jisc provide a digital lens to our strategy work. This puts technology as a core consideration for institutions when developing their strategies, for example, the use of technology in teaching and learning, with issues highlighted by the current climate, or how it can be used to achieve less obvious goals such as those in sustainability strategies.
