Organisation Evaluation 2025

Is NMH organised in a way that meets future needs? In the spring of 2025, we will review our organisation with the help of an external evaluator.

Evalueringsrapporten

Agenda Kaupang har nå levert sin evalueringsrapport. Denne følger vedlagt. Her pekes det på noen styrker og svakheter ved organiseringen slik den er i dag.

Det gis også noen anbefalinger/ forslag til endringer. Disse finner man på rapportens side 75 til 76, men oppsummeres også under.

Videre oppfølging

Det er innkalt til møter med alle fagseksjonene og i administrasjonen. Her tenker vi å få deres innspill på hvilke anbefalinger det er særlig nyttig å arbeide videre med. Dette gjelder både den faglige og administrative virksomheten, men vil i møte med fagseksjonene særlig omhandle organiseringen og utviklingen av den faglige virksomheten.

I møtene deltar rektoratet og direktør.

Why is this important?

Our new strategy and strategic goals will challenge us as an organisation. Are we organised in the best way to achieve the goals in the strategy? The framework conditions will not necessarily improve in the future, and we will be challenged to use available resources (people, money, premises, etc.) wisely, efficiently, and sustainably.

We need to ask ourselves these questions:

  • How do the organisation's seven academic and six administrative sections function? Can the research centres be organised differently?
  • How does the interaction between academic sections and administrative sections function?
  • How does the division of labour, coordination, and scaling work for task completion and fulfilling our societal mission?
  • Do we have the correct positions and roles we need?
  • How is our ability to adapt to changing framework conditions and expectations?
  • What alternative organisational principles and solutions can/should we consider?

Mapping and Analysis

First, the current situation will be mapped and analysed. The evaluation will result in an evaluation report that analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the current organisation, roles, and functions. The report will also highlight possible alternative ways of organising the institution, encompassing academic and administrative operations.
