3.1. What do we mean by organisational issues?

• What do we mean by organisational context?

• Why is it important?

• What are the key aspects which constitute an organisational context?

Organisations are complex and multi-faceted and the identification of their nature and key functions and processes is important both at the initial fact finding stage of MLE development and throughout project implementation. You need to understand:

• the external environment and current drivers

• current institutional drivers and initiatives

• the alignment of your MLE development to other institutional strategy and policy

• how to use this knowledge to enable effective MLE implementation.
