One Professional Services
Becoming One PS
One Professional Services (One PS) is a commitment to UCL’s professional services working together to solve challenges, ultimately supporting UCL to achieve amazing things and being a great place to work. Together we have a broad range of professional service skills based across, and because of the work that happens across, faculties, VP Offices and central services. It is this collective skill and energy that One PS is looking to harness.
One PS is led by Chief Operating Officer, Fiona Ryland, but looks to align colleagues from across faculties, VP Offices and central divisions.
TOPS and One PS
Transforming our Professional Services (TOPS) is a once in a lifetime opportunity for UCL to consider and improve its systems, processes and ways of working, in preparation for the future. One PS boosts the programme, by providing a broad steer direct from the UCL PS community about where this opportunity should be focused.
