Description

iSolutions is the University's centralised information technology department tasked with providing all IT needs from a Windows desktop to High Performance Computing. The department has 300 members of staff ranging from service desk staff and specialist networking experts, to project managers and software engineers. iSolutions plays a key role in providing the University with a flexible platform in support of its research and teaching goals.

Recent changes in staffing within iSolutions have highlighted the need to pay more attention to the area of management development. To this end the Director of iSolutions has allocated a training budget which aims to accelerate the development of three current managers as part of a wider management training programme. The long term goal is to enhance the strength and depth of the management team, provide development opportunities for high-potential individuals, and to reduce the reliance on external recruitment for senior management positions.
