Summary “Universities play a key role in sustaining the economic prosperity of the United Kingdom. There is a growing recognition amongst key decision makers, in the UK Government and beyond, that we need a new generation of universities, of businessfacing universities, to step up to the economic challenges faced by the UK in increasingly global markets”. (University of Hertfordshire, 2011). The University of Hertfordshire has positioned itself as a leading businessfacing University, based around an innovative and enterprising mindset. In 2007, the businessfacing model was progressed through a £4.2m HEFCE funded project, UHEvolution, aimed at driving employer engagement and accelerating the implementation of the Institution’sStrategic Plan (20072012).The project led to investment in a package of support activities including ‘hot housing’ new solutions to business problems (UHInnovative Solutions) and embedding a businessfacing culture amongst staff (UHMindset).
