The UK's Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) has announced the August 2009 launch of the new JISC Services Management Company. The move is part of JISC's ongoing strategy to deliver world-class services to the further and higher education sector. Guy Lambert has been appointed as the new managing director to lead this new company.
Lambert recently worked for the FCO during a major change initiative, when its services business, reconstituted as a Trading Fund, helping it to develop a commercial approach to business management within a set of traditional core values.
He has spent his career in commercial and managerial roles at UK board level within the IT industry, both within the public and private sectors. His roles with Honeywell, Bull, Steria and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) have all involved managing operational improvement programmes and cultural change alongside delivery of a variety of services to clients.
