Lecturer and Convenor, Improvement Grand Rounds
Lecturer and Convenor, Improvement Grand Rounds
School of Continuous Improvement
Dr Ntuli joined the University from an operations-research post in the resources sector, where a case-review meeting was a fortnightly ritual long before it acquired a research agenda of its own. His work studies how a standing review format shapes what an institution notices about its own performance, and what a rotating cast of presenters quietly leaves off the record. He convenes the School's Improvement Grand Rounds and contributes to its wider evaluation-ecosystem agenda.
