Uniburse.com is Live--New Website Dedicated to Providing Students With Information About the Bursary Schemes on Offer from Higher Education Institutions in England

From September of this year students considering Higher Education will face an additional challenge. The complexity of selecting the appropriate course at the most appropriate university will be further complicated by the multiplicity of bursary schemes. Uniburse.com is a website designed to provide students with a straightforward guide to the bursary schemes on offer.

Research suggests that the students who will benefit most from bursaries are paradoxically the students who have least awareness of the help available and are most unlikely to receive informed financial guidance at home. While the bursary schemes offered by all Higher Education Institutions will undoubtedly encourage applications from students from under-represented groups, there is an urgent need to provide all students with clear, easily accessible information....

Perth Leadership Institute Issues Alert on the Post-Crash Environment Facing HR/Leadership Development

The Perth Leadership Institute (alert on the market crash and how human resources and leadership development can quickly and effectively develop a post-crash leadership strategy. The alert provides rapidly actionable, high-impact recommendations and suggests that human resources must focus on business acumen development and improving executives’ financial impact through behavioral approaches.

According to Dr. E. Ted Prince, Founder and CEO of the Institute, “The current market crisis highlights the failure of traditional leadership programs to identify and develop business acumen in leaders. This has occurred in almost all organizations and not just in financial services companies. The Perth Leadership Institute has long pointed to this critical gap in leadership development. The current financial turmoil is at least partly the result of leadership development programs that place an emphasis on people skills. These programs largely ignore the essential qualities of business acumen, such as achieving long-term profit quality, and where they do focus on these issues, it is from a financial literacy rather than a behavioral finance approach. In order to achieve sustainable competitive advantage, HR and Leadership Development executives, as well as other business executives, need to refocus their efforts on building an awareness of the financial behavior of their organizations. If they do not, the current financial engineering actions being taken by governments around the world will be less likely to have positive and sustainable long-term macroeconomic impacts.”...
