In a memo to the Board of NTNU makes principal account of his views on how the university should be managed in the future. As UA printer struggling with officers to spot own influence in the note. Organization Director assure therefore that the representative’s views will be duly taken into account in future work.
Clearer separation between levels
Control memorandum entitled “NTNU administrative organization – Ground treatment”. Other treatment is expected in the first board meeting after the summer.
Here an account of the new administrative model for NTNU. A main strategy is that substantial parts of it which are currently included in the principal’s staff moved out in departments at level 2 and / or 3, while a smaller number of employees retained at level 1, ie in the principal’s immediate surroundings.
cuts staff
A clearer distinction between the strategic level and operation / management is the main reason why it is known as a principal’s staff now scaled down substantially. The number of employees is currently at about 60. These should be reduced to 15, according to the note of the Board. Munkeby suggests somewhere between 20 and 30.
– Just what the number is a little “Think of a number.” Our main concern here is to strengthen the strategic work throughout NTNU, says Munkeby.
– There is currently carried out some tasks in staff who might as well be done in departments. There is no talk of sharp distinctions, rather smooth transitions, she continues.
– Børresen Committee concluded, among other things. Does not range far enough?
– At certain points we suggest taking it a bit further, responding organization director.
duplication
Staff shall mainly operate with strategy and coordination, while the departments shall be responsible for operation and management.
– at the same time made it today and will continue ongoing important strategy work in departments, says Munkeby, and continues:
– Then there is also some duplication in administration.
– What do you think?
– This goes especially that there are grounds for more efficient division of labor between levels 1 and 2/3. Two obvious examples, such as has emerged in administrative management forum, is to take an examination and recruitment.
Will negotiations with unions
– Elected UA has been in contact with commenting that not seen as much to own statements in the recommendation submitted to the board this week. Next recommendation coming August meeting. Can you promise that this will be better then?
– I can promise that representative’s views will be duly taken into account. It does not necessarily appear in any of the recommendations. We are dedicated to providing valuable input with regard to the matters the Board should decide and what it is advisable that left rector to implement. This implementation will Rector do after negotiations with the unions, says Munkeby.
This will particularly apply to the division of departments, such as the organization of sections, groups, team.
Unrest in Ålesund and Gjovik
There is a certain uneasiness in “satellites” in Ålesund and Gjovik, that you may not get good enough autonomy in the new management model. This applies particularly to the staff there will be a boss in place to deal with.
Organization Director expresses appreciation for this unrest. She believes the fact that one gets more heads of departments locally will meet a lot of these concerns.
Meanwhile, she reminds us that the goal is to establish a single organization model for the whole NTNU.

Cross consideration
– Here, it’s already intersecting considerations – unified organization versus the need for local participation in Ålesund and Gurgaon. How does this trade-off to be?
– I think that we must achieve both. That one gets vice rector of the campus, is important for local influence. We are actively working to design job descriptions their: Vice Rector will to some extent be the principal’s deputy with an important coordinating role but without line responsibility. says Munkeby.
She also recalls that it is decided to establish so-called campusråd. These will consist of Vice Rector, heads of departments and representatives of staff and students.
