IMPACTS
• Impact on the academic programmes and the
increased workload
• Impact on the QMD department with limited
resources and the alignment of simultaneous
development with implementation
• Creating a focal point for the alignment of key
processes
• The project has done much to keep quality as a
mainstream activity within CPUT.
THE WAY FORWARD
• The need for consolidation of conformance
and consistency amongst faculties
• The continued development and
implementation of policies
• Taking the decision on whether to contract
out surveys or undertake them in-house.
