The Strategic Performance Committee of Northumbria University

Strategic Performance is a Committee of the Board of Governors. Its primary responsibility is to assess the corporate and strategic performance of the University in its broadest sense and form a view on the adequacy of progress made in achieving strategic objectives and outcomes, and of the systems to measure, monitor and deliver on them. In addition to its broad role to assess the strategic performance , the specific functions of the Committee include:

  • To provide advice to the University Executive, Board of Governors and Audit Committee on the adequacy and operation of the University’s strategic performance management system, which include a systematic approach to, and timeline for, strategic review across the full spectrum of University activities. This will include consideration of proposed amendments to the Strategic KPIs and Business Outcomes in terms of wording or related performance measures for the approval of the Board of Governors
  • To provide advice to the University Executive and Board of Governors on performance in respect of the delivery of the University Strategy 2018-23, and that such performance aligns to the University’s strategic outcomes
