Mergers and Acquisitions. the Trials, Tribulations and Triumphs of Warwick’s Journey to Build an Integrated Development and Alumni Engagement Team After a Restructure
2:45 PM - 3:45 PM UK Time
Speaker(s): Andrea Crowley, Deputy Director of Development (Alumni & Supporter Engagement), University of Warwick, Natalie Lloyd, Deputy Director of Development (Philanthropy), University of Warwick
In 2020 Warwick merged two very separate Development and Alumni Engagement teams, each at very different stages of evolution. A new strategy was needed, along with a new team culture, built on collaboration and trust. During this session, Deputy Directors for Alumni & Supporter Engagement, and Philanthropy, will share how they approached building an integrated team with a collaborative vision and strategy that now - almost three years on - is in the process of planning for a major institutional campaign, giving insight into the use of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and Behaviours projects delivered along the way.
