Changing Capability and Culture Update 23-08-10
In late 2009, Fiona McAllister of fmconsulting presented a report to NSLA on the scope of Project 6, Changing Capability and Culture. This work was an excellent catalyst for NSLA to reassess the options for this project. As the other projects of the Re-imagining Libraries Program get well underway, it has become clear that they are driving cultural and skill changes and there is no need to double our efforts.
The decision was taken to develop a Statement of Intent for the NSLA Workforce. This articulated the workforce capability required for NSLA libraries to ensure the future needs of our customers are met. The Statement of Intent for the NSLA Workforce was released on 9 August 2010 and is endorsed by the NSLA members.
The project has now closed.
Each project within the Re-imagining Libraries Program will now report on the changes to capability and culture achieved within NSLA libraries, to ensure the ongoing commitment of NSLA libraries to ‘transform our culture’.
NSLA members wish to thank the Project Manager, Sue Lewis, and the Project Group members for their contributions to this work.
