HESA organisational changes
To continue to develop the service we offer across the UK and to meet the requirements of HESA as the Designated Data Body for England we have been making some changes to our internal structure.
Our designation as the data body under the Higher Education and Research Act (HERA) requires us to create more division between those activities that are conducted through our statutory role and our other business.
We have taken this opportunity to carefully think about how we support Graduate Outcomes, develop and absorb Data Futures and meet the needs of a subscriber base growing in complexity and volume.
To meet these needs, we have restructured HESA as follows:
HESA Statutory Services
Managing Director – Rob Phillpotts
This Group will continue to work on behalf of the sector collecting, processing and disseminating data collected under statutory powers. This covers all such activity across the UK.
Teams included in this Group are:
- Collection Operating and Performance, this team includes the ever-popular Liaison and Training teams
- Official Statistics
- Research & Insight
- Service Development
HESA Enterprise
Managing Director – Karen Foster
This Group will focus on the production and sale of products and services to customers to drive value from HESA data and support innovation and development across HESA. As a Group in its infancy there is likely to be a high degree of change and the term HESA Enterprise may not be around for long – watch this space for exciting developments.
Teams included in this Group are:
- Data Intelligence
- Product, including product development
- Customer Success
