An effective business model depends upon a clear strategy and well defined objectives that are understood and agreed across the institution. It, too, has to reflect a clear sense of the institutional assets that are and should be available to achieve such strategic objectives, and at the same time a general appreciation of how such assets should be best employed – at what levels and by whom.

now and for a longer‐term future.
