Impact of High Performing Boards
Represent
university’s overall
interests
Comprehensive
external view
Strong fundraising
network
Greater
accountability
▪ All stakeholders represented
▪ Board decisions favour the
interests of the collective whole
▪ Board provides strategic view from
outside the university
▪ Academic and non-academic views
are balanced
▪ Major policies, initiatives and
programs justified to the Board
▪ University management directly
accountable to the Board
▪ Board members connect donors
to university
▪ Board members may donate
themselves
18
Fulfilling fundamental Board fiduciary roles and responsibilities
It is the duty of university Boards to act as a mechanism for change, quality
assurance, efficiency, and effectiveness at their universities
From
Role
1
Role

university strategy
▪ Balances and prioritises input
from both faculty and the Board
▪ Directly accountable to Board for
the implementation of strategy
▪ Works with Board to develop
strategy and budget
Vice-
Chancellor
▪ Oversees the day-to-day
operations, such as student
affairs, libraries, IT, admissions,
and back-office functions
▪ Academic and admin roles may
be combined under VC or split
between VC and a President

Small Boards (~11
members) will
better enable
Boards to fulfil their
fiduciary duties
Boards should allow
for renewable terms
so that effective
members may
continue to
contribute
Board member
nominees will
undergo a rigorous
selection process to
ensure their fit and
potential to add
value
A diverse mixture of
Board members,
including several
external
representatives, is
best suited to serve
the interests of the
university as a
whole
The majority of the
Board’s work
should be
conducted through
formal committees
with clearly defined
relationships to the
Board
STRUCTURING a high-performing Board With the right skills, representation, and configuration, Boards will cultivate
the conditions for success
Diverse
composition
Rigorous
selection
Term
limits
Formal
committees
Appropriate
size
21
Ensuring effective Board operations and interactions
Effective and efficient operations allow the Board to focus on issues that matter
most for the university
Enforced structures will
enable Boards to be
efficient during their
limited meetings.
Meetings should be held,
at minimum, four times
per year
Ensuring Board members
receive quality content
with sufficient time for
prior review will increase
meeting productivity
While structure and
composition are critical,
effective Boards must
also have trust between
Board members, the
Vice-Chancellor, and the
university management
committee
Make every Board
meeting productive
Optimise quality and
timing of Board content
Build trust between
management and
the Board
22
Raising university Board effectiveness CHAPTER TWO
Chapter Two addresses issues and challenges common to many university Boards.
It is structured as a series of questions to provide guidance in implementing best practices:
What is the university
management committee’s
relationship to the Board?
What is the Senate’s relationship
to the Board?
How can the Board define its
mandate and boundaries with the
university management
committee?
How can the Board separate and
balance the roles of the
Chairperson and the Vice-
Chancellor?
How should the governance of the
university investment funds be
structured?
What should be the governance
structure and accountability of the
university holding company?
Fulfilling fundamental
Board fiduciary roles and
responsibilities
Structuring a high-
performing university Board
Ensuring effective Board
operations and interactions
What is the Vice-Chancellor’s
relationship to the Board?
How can the Board nominate
Board members who have the
right skills and experience?
How can the Board ensure that it
focuses on strategic matters?
How can the Board ensure that
Board papers are consistently of
high quality?
How can the Board work more
effectively with management in
setting strategy?
How can the Board help foster a
strong culture focused on
performance management?
How can the Board best oversee
the development of talent and
future leaders of the university?
How should complaints be
handled by the Board?

The BEA evaluates the three main components of an effective Board:
Conducting a Board Effectiveness Assessment Improving Board effectiveness begins with a Board Effectiveness Assessment (BEA),
which measures the health and performance of the Board. Understanding its strengths and
weaknesses will empower the Board with the clarity required to know what gaps need closing
and where to build on existing strengths.
Structuring a high-performing
Board
Ensuring effective Board
operations and interactions
Fulfilling fundamental Board
roles and responsibilities
▪ Does the Board contribute to the
development of the university’s
strategy?
▪ Do Board members uphold a
strong performance
management culture?
▪ Does the Board adhere to the
principles of risk management
and financial discipline?
▪ Are Board members actively
focused on talent development
for future university leaders?

Universities are facing a unique challenge to deliver
more with the same resources, in a growing
economy with rising costs
Current situation in Malaysia
has been positive …
… however, challenges are
emerging
CONFIDENTIAL - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION
Source: Malaysia Education Blueprint (Higher Education), 11th Malaysia Plan
▪ Malaysia’s higher education (HE) system is
soaring upwards –e.g.,
– Currently 27th out of 50, up from 28th in
2014, overall in the Universitas21 2015
rankings
– 6th out of 50, up from 12th in 2014, for
knowledge transfer with business in the
same U21 rankings
▪ This growth has been enabled by strong
financial support from the government
▪ Within Malaysia, some of the private
universities have set themselves high
efficiency standards and are innovating on
ideas to improve academic productivity*
▪ Existing productivity levels signal room for
improvement:
– Malaysia ranks 12th out 50 in terms of
resources invested
– However, Malaysia also ranks 44th out of 50
in terms of outputs in U21 rankings
▪ Expansion of access: Universities need to meet
increasing demand – target 3.3m new jobs by
2020
▪ Rising costs per student: Increase in
government funding by 7% per annum from 2004
to 2013
▪ Universities expected to be more pro-active:
Universities expected to take more active income
generation role as they move towards autonomy
and accountability

The Productivity Playbook has been prioritised to
help support universities in enhancing their
academic productivity to address these challenges
Improving productivity is critical to continued success for
our public universities
CONFIDENTIAL - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION
Improving productivity will help universities redirect
inefficient resources to improving student and
institutional outcomes
The path to producing more with the same is by
increasing productivity, without reducing quality
It is critical for universities to focus on improving their
academic productivity, as performance against this
key metric will be critical to determining funding in
the future world of performance-based contracts

Our playbook addresses several of these productivity metrics,
but we start with a focus on improving
“Cost per graduate”

Barrier
Our experience tells us that 70% of transformations
across sectors fail due to six key internal
delivery challenges
CONFIDENTIAL - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION
Lack of
Conviction 1
Silos between
divisions 2
Internal
resistance/inertia 3
Lack of data 4
Lack of
capabilities 5
Funding
constraints
Description
▪ Leaders without bold aspirations and/or willingness to engage in fast
decision-making and real time following-through on delivery
▪ Lack of clarity around split of responsibilities across divisions in the
Ministry and/or overlapping responsibilities hinders execution of priorities that
are cross-divisional or cross-Ministry
▪ Civil service lacks delivery skills and methodologies (vs. policy making) and
motivation (vs. inertia) to deliver big results fast
▪ Lack of baseline data and transparency and/or major data quality issues with
data that hinder proper monitoring
▪ Limited knowledge, managerial skills and/or soft skills that enable staff to
understand root causes, unlock challenges and follow through with delivery
▪ Lack of funding for highest priorities, especially in environments of growing
fiscal constraints, due to inability to cut established spending programs 6

Potential intervention ▪ Public commitments to establish accountability
▪ Reports on progress against Ministerial KPIs
▪ Minister to spend ~2 every month to give directional steer as needed
▪ MEB(HE) steerco to resolve inter-division issues in MOHE
▪ HETF to resolve cross-Ministry issues
▪ Initiatives like Funding Formula to have cross-Ministry
(MOHE/MOF/EPU) working team
▪ KPIs and performance management for civil service
▪ Change management / comms
▪ Create STO-HE (Strategic Transformation Office) with dedicated staff
▪ Standardize data collection and reporting across universities
▪ Assign a dedicated CIO to this effort
▪ Use multiple sources to verify
▪ Invest in staffing STO-HE with the relevant experience and capabilities
(incl. private sector talent where needed)
▪ Leverage industry leaders in HETF for best practice learnings
▪ Establish link between spending program and achievement of planned
outcome KPIs
▪ Use savings from one program to fund another

Top Barriers to change for Universities
In addition, we must help universities
overcome the classic change barriers CONFIDENTIAL - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION
▪ Why should I change?
▪ What’s in it for me?
▪ Is the Ministry really going to put
their money where their mouth is?
▪ Is there any upside to embrace this?
(or downside to not)
1 “Lack of
leadership
commitment”
2
“No case for
change” 3
“Skills gap” 4
“Resistance/
Inertia”
▪ I want to do this but I am not sure on
what exactly to do or how to do it
▪ Do other universities face similar
issues? How do they handle them?
▪ Is the Ministry really committed to this
transformation?
▪ Is this really “new” and “different”? Or is
it a minor tweak?
38
We recommend a holistic and proactive approach
to influence universities to embrace change CONFIDENTIAL - NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION
▪ Pro-active communications
– Internal – e.g., Minister-led change story
roadshows with university leaders, staff,
students
– External – e.g., Quarterly launch events,
social media strategy
▪ Rigorous University transformation plan
for all universities
▪ Headline KPIs to be announced
and performance against these
made public
▪ Government funding linked to
performance contracts
▪ Annual performance
dialogues between
VC/Chairman of every university
and Ministry
“A compelling story” – Tell them “Role-modeling” – Show them
“Skill-building” – Teach them “Reinforcements” – Reward them
▪ Symbolic actions/quick-wins to signal
commitment – e.g., Injection of “WOW”
factor leaders as VCs/Chairmen
▪ Quick execution on big policy
changes – e.g.,
– DVC nomination by board, not Minister
– Boards to complete annual self-
assessment and report results to
Ministry
▪ Playbooks on 5 critical topics
▪ Peer learning circles for key change
leaders – e.g., VCs, Chairmen, Bursars,
Lecturers by uni type
▪ Training for iPMOs
