What do we mean by ‘enhanced’?

Another good question and there are, of course, many answers to this. The response from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) is as follows:

Efficiency – existing processes carried out in a more cost-effective, time-

Enhancement – improving existing processes and the outcomes.
Transformation – radical, positive change in existing processes or introducing new processes.
