Abstract
The academic environment is rapidly changing in response to the combined pressures of policy, the diverse needs of stakeholders, community demands, technological advances, and globalisation. All of these drivers are common to all Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) at the present time including the one featured in this paper. The aim was to develop an ethically engaged model of staff development and cultural change. The particular HEI featured in this paper, is applying for degree awarding powers. As part of this process, it has to begin transforming itself into an organisation that is and acts ‘like a university’. This has involved more clearly defining a stronger relationship between research and scholarly activities and the quality of the student experience. This paper describes the way that the authors have developed the Appreciative Critical Conversation Process (ACCP) as a more ethically conscious approach to both staff development and cultural change.
