Project Description
The general scope of the
consultancy is to provide business planning
services to support the establishment of a Global Change Institute (GCI) at the
University of Queensland (UQ) and to develop a business model and
preliminary business plan for its effective initial operation.
Services provided by the Lloyd Consulting Alliance
included consultation, market research, review work, analysis and reporting. The
consultation process involved collation of and reporting on material gained from
interviews and Request for Comment feedback by key stakeholders, internal and
external to the University, in order to investigate feasibility, risks, opportunities
and resources. The consultation process was also to identify objectives as well as potential themes
and focus areas of the GCI. Based on this preliminary assessment and subsequent
refinement, a Business Plan was created for the GCI, recommending an
organisational and operational framework on which to base the establishment and
initial operation of the Institute, which has since been endorsed by Senate.
