The MELHE is a holistic approach that includes multisided developments in higher education which has grown at UCLan under my leadership since 2014 to support people's future; staff, students, research, industry, and the community at several levels including the institutional level, the national and international levels. The MELHE combines the visionary and coaching approaches to impact and support young leaders and people. I’m using the visionary approach with long-term vision goals so the school team members engage with it at different levels with different roles, while the coaching approach is used to create a positive environment in the school with devoted time to support staff in achieving the school KPIs using three key entrepreneurial competencies that characterise me, business vision, creativity, and communication. The MELHE resulted in outstanding impacts. I have worked with the school stakeholders to put forward a business vision including a 5-year growth plan for MIM Engineering at UCLan including goals and KPIs that contribute to the school's strategic thinking and formed a key component of the school growth plan and supported the business case that ultimately resulted in securing the EIC investment. I’m using creativity to work with the school team to develop new degree courses, labs & equipment provision, research goals, engineering clubs, engineering academy and CPD programmes, the ‘EAZE’ Zone, and build collaborations with industry and HE sector nationally and internationally. I’m using my communication skills to work with colleagues across the school and UCLan to achieve these goals.
