ABSTRACT
The relational aspect underestimated and the six-point guides should be seen as such: as guides, but not absolutes. As Scott and Lawrence have stated, flex is required. Moving beyond mutually beneficial relationships is the engagement in ethical relationships. The need to identify and recognise the differing cultures of these individuals, that is, staff personal values and beliefs within the communities and institutions, is also crucial to growing the success of these programmes. Attention to ethical and mutually beneficial relationships and the critical consciousness of our academics, and in this case programme leader, their communities, disciplines and institutions, will support the evolution of the work Scott and Lawrence. Values, beliefs, behaviours and language can cause resistance between central units, as agents of the university, and local disciplines, at the coalface of student education. Relationships are crucial to the success demonstrated in Scott and Lawrence's focus on Networks and CoPs.
