Rousseau Named Sunningdale Institute Fellow

The United Kingdom's National School of Government has named Denise M.
Rousseau, H.J. Heinz II Professor of Organization Behavior, as one of the
first Fellows to its Sunningdale Institute - a group including
internationally rated academics and industry figures, and offering
development to the British government and public service organizations on
operational and delivery issues.

The new 'virtual academy' has been established within the National School
to help officials formulating and implementing public service policy and
strategy. Chaired by Professor Cary Cooper of the Lancaster University
Management School and directed by the National School's Deputy Principal,
Margaret Saner, the Institute offers knowledge exchange, consultancy, and
learning and development activities for senior public servants. Fellows
are available as speakers and to lead research projects, give advice to
organizations and teams, and produce advisory documents.

Fellows were selected against criteria developed by a working group of
senior academics from leading UK business schools and experienced
practitioners. Led by Margaret Saner, they matched expertise against
issues identified through discussion with the National School. Fellows are
initially contracted for two years, although it is expected that they will
be reengaged and the group enlarged.
