Project Leader

Dr Lorraine Bennett Acting Director, Centre for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT), Monash University.
Lorraine’s leadership provided the sustained oversight and impetus needed to keep the project evolving. She brought to the project extensive experience in leadership of change management and organisational capacity-building within the university and also in organisations external to the higher education sector. Her expertise in project development and practical application of theoretical constructs proved valuable in advancing the project.

A number of very talented and diligent people worked on this project over a period of just under two years. Some worked for extensive periods of time and others, with highly specialised skills were utilised as required. The following list identifies the main contributors and describes the key area of their input.

Project officers

Cassandra Eadie provided invaluable project management support at a period of intense activity and consultation. She made a significant contribution to the final iteration of the framework by capturing and analysing the feedback from a range of consultation sessions and workshops.

Christine Tasker played a major role in the latter phase of the project ensuring that all the project activities were drawn together in an interesting and accessible report.

Joy Whitton also played a major role in the latter phase of the project providing literature refinement, editing and writing expertise.

Project Team

Anne Taib co-ordinated the development of the CLEAR project and provided source material for Case Study Five. Anne also identified the ‘Tipu Ake Lifecycle: an organic leadership model for innovative organisations’, through a literature search which helped move the framework from a static linear model to a living, evolving framework.

Phillip Johnson prepared a preliminary review of literature on leadership which helped inform the initial thinking on leadership frameworks and organisation leadership.

Olga Maxwell worked on the CLEAR project and provided feedback for Case Study Five.

Dr Christine Spratt coordinated the strategic work of the CALT response teams and prepared and contributed to major reports from which Case Studies One, Two, Three and Four were sourced.

Gillian Luckenhausen worked on the early CALT response teams and contributed to the report which informed Case Study One.

Kara Gilbert was a major contributor in two of the response teams and took the lead in preparing the report which informed Case Study Four.

Dr Elizabeth Santhanam worked on a number of the response teams and contributed significantly to the report which was the source material for Case Study Three.

Chris Wayland provided valuable external input and guidance and significantly helped with the development of the final version of the ELF.

Narelle Pittard was the graphic designer who responded to the project brief and worked with the project team to produce the final visual version of the ELF.
