Advisory Group

LISU has an established international reputation in its area of expertise which is performance evaluation and enhancement. If it is to remain at the forefront of its chosen field, then it has to maintain a flexible strategy based upon awareness of important developments and a sensitivity tothe needs of its clients. One such mechanism for ensuring a flow of pertinent information into this process is the LISU Advisory Group. The Group's membership is representative of a range of interests and activities that relate to LISU's work and is therefore well placed to offer advice and support. Members serve in their own right and do not formally represent any agency or institution.

Amongst other things, the Advisory Group's role is to advise LISU on its strategy; to relay client community opinion on relevant issues, to act as a general sounding board for LISU ideas and to contribute specific knowledge as occasion demands.

The Advisory Group generally meets twice a year at Loughborough University.
