Innovations frequently give rise to new ways of working and thus staff roles and responsibilities will need to adapt accordingly. This could also include consideration of new forms of contracts/commercial arrangements with staff e.g. moving from project-related staff to permanent funding posts or, vice-versa i.e. moving to a more contract-based (or out-sourced) approach – the FE sector has greater experience of this compared with the HE sector and has used this approach to bring about efficiencies.
