May 22nd – 24th, 2019,
AAU Secretariat, Accra, Ghana

Higher Education Institutions continue to face increasing levels of complexity. Perhaps we, as HEIs, have reached that stage where we should, as Peter Drucker so eloquently puts it, ‘reduce complexity to manageable simplicity’.

In dealing with this increasing complexity, there is one reality that we will have to understand.

Universities, by their very design are people activity systems. Our first and foremost challenge is to attract and retain the right people; people who embrace change; people who take co- ownership of the university’s ongoing transformational journey.

This has immense challenges for People Management in Africa HEI’s. We are faced by so many challenging people issues, that it is easy and understandable that some HEI leaders view some of the people issues as insurmountable.

This is exactly what this important workshop sets out to achieve. To, in an interactive manner, identify and articulate the key environmental driving forces; to identify and articulate the important people issues; to empower participants with appropriate People Management principle and ‘tools’; and to support the effectiveness as well as efficiency of People Management at individual HEI’s.

Colleagues, this workshop should not be missed. The topic of sound People Management is so important  – this is a rare opportunity to optimize People Management at our respective HEI’s!

Come and join us at the workshop. Come and share your people management challenges and approaches; and, let us jointly explore best practices to deal with this important issue.

Looking forward to your HEI’s important participation in this groundbreaking Workshop.
