1. Doing Lean in HE, Case Study:
Learning from
the University of St Andrews
2. The University of St Andrews
Oldest in Scotland and the third oldest in
the English-speaking world
Consistently ranked in the top ten
universities in the UK, usually in the top
five
In 1773, the university had fewer than
100 pupils, and was in Samuel Johnson's
opinion in a steady decline "pining in
decay and struggling for life"
In term time over a third of the town's
population is either a staff member or
student of the University
Greek motto AIEN ARISTEUEIN
Lots and lots and lots of change
3. Dont be deceived by appearances
In our experience St Andrews is
probably quite similar to your
place in lots of ways
full of opportunities for
improvement
made up of human beings, in all
their glory!
