Accountability.
Administrative Officer:
In my experience, for future reference, I would look at better understanding the constraints and limitations of this type of job such as control of projects and flexibility for project improvements. In the tertiary education sector, transparency is a problem where some projects are concerned, which can be detrimental to achieving positive and best outcomes for the projects. Improvements are hindered by bad decisions made by improper management of staff and resources, and Management decisions and agendas.
