Governance

DoctorateHub has a lean governance structure, which allows us to focus on the following critical factors:

• Identifying core processes that have a high impact on the implementation of DoctorateHub's vision and mission, and thus the achievement of its strategic objectives.
• The careful selection and assignment of competent staff and faculty whose expertise and skills can enable DoctorateHub's core processes and key activities to function effectively.
• The design and implementation of a process that deploys DoctorateHub's key objectives at all levels to ensure total institutional alignment.
• The development and implementation of core support processes to enable DoctorateHub to fulfil its various responsibilities to its students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholders.
• The development and implementation of an institutional effectiveness process that will be used for tracking, reporting, reviewing, and improving DoctorateHub's performance against its objectives on a regular basis.
• The development and implementation of a clear planning processes to translate strategic needs and requirements for the short, medium, and long term, as well as to guide activities at all levels. These planning processes will take a comprehensive approach, including risk assessment and resource management.

DoctorateHub, as Higher Education Institution (HEI), is organized into four integrated divisions headed by the Head of Institution. Figure 1 shows the current organizational structure with four divisions, reporting to the Head of Institution. Each division serves a specific purpose and is responsible for a core area within the organisation and establishes a scalable structure for future growth.

The governance arrangements are designed to facilitate effective decision making, ensure accountability to both internal and external stakeholders, and to drive improvement and feedback through open and participatory processes.
