Project Governance Structure
It is essential to ensure that project decisions are made within time to ensure compliance to the university policies as well. Well it is ideal to have wider consultation for every decision, the strict deadlines makes it infeasible. However the project governance structure has been developed in such a way to uphold decision integrity and to ensure compliance to university policies.
Project Sponsor
Vice Chancellor - Professor Nigel Healey
The FNU executive sponsor has contractual authority for any and all issues related to the project and provides the ultimate decision-making responsibility should any issue escalate to that level. The executive sponsor also holds the combined team accountable for all contract deliverables.
The Executive Sponsor works with the Ellucian Executive Sponsor to expedite and resolve issues that require the highest executive level involvement such as contract amendments.
