| Achoimre: | This report documents the outcomes of the project 'Strategic Leadership for Institutional Teaching and Learning Centres: Developing a Model for the 21st Century'. The project was carried out over a two-year period. It set out to identify common factors to be considered in the effective strategic leadership of central organisational structures to enhance long-term learning and teaching performance and to highlight how these factors are being dealt with contextually in a selection of contemporary university settings in Australian higher education. An assumption of this project was that strategic leadership is a major expectation of contemporary teaching and learning centres in Australian higher education and that the search for strategic leadership in response to institutional expectations and external forces was leading to significant reviewing, restructuring and repositioning of centres across the sector. Evidence of this trend was confirmed and intensified during the course of this project and is referred to as 'volatility of the sector'. [Executive summary, ed]
