“The best way to stop a conversation about institutional culture is to attempt to get a shared definition of it.” — Prof André Keet
The transformation barometer
Mr George Mvalo is the Director: Social Justice and Transformation at the Vaal University of Technology. He also chairs Universities South Africa’s Transformation Managers Forum (TMF), one of numerous communities of practice operating under the USAf banner to promote inter-institutional information-sharing, collaboration on issues of common interest and engagement. His presentation at the conference sought to flag the work and achievements of that forum whose first mission was to explore transformation in the sector, without necessarily concerning itself – immediately – with a definition.
