The Executive Planning Group

The Executive Planning Group (EPG) is a committee of the Vice-Chancellor which is chaired by him. Membership is position-based and involves all executive personnel. The EPG meets to offer advice and provide relevant input to the Vice-Chancellor on both institutional and regional issues.

It further provides an opportunity for the Vice-Chancellor to brief all of his executive staff on important emerging issues, including major policy decisions taken by the Vice-Chancellor’s Strategy Group. It further acts as a monitoring mechanism for common issues and matters across the institution and free discussion and interaction is encouraged among all members.
