Governance
In 2021, TSA reviewed its governance structure and this has been evolving since then. The next phase has been to consider the Quality Improvement Programme Board (QIPB) and associated infrastructure.
A key objective of the changes is to enable the Boards of TSA and TEC Quality to have a better understanding of strategic sector risks and opportunities to inform TSA’s strategy and delivery plans, whilst also ensuring operational risks are managed.
From 1 July 2024, TSA is refreshing its Governance to be split into the following:
- Strategic Futures Advisory Committee (SFAC)
- Sector Risk and Innovation Group (SRIG)
- Innovation and Challenge Panel
Appointments have now been made for SFAC and SRIG, whereas recruitment to the ICP will be on an ongoing basis. Current Quality Improvement Programme Board, Special Interest Group members and TEC Action Alliance partners have been automatically migrated to the ICP.
Strategic Futures Advisory Committee (SFAC)
A new committee reporting to the Boards of TSA CIC and TEC Quality, made up of internal and external members to support the Boards in horizon scanning and identifying and responding to strategic sector risks and opportunities, informing TSA’s strategic direction.
