MUMBAI: UK broadcaster BBC has announced that CBBC controller Dorothy
Prior will take up a new role. She will spearhead the drive to deliver
more effective production and resource management across the BBC
and offering audiences increased value for money. .
Reporting to BBC DG Mark Thompson, Prior becomes the controller
of production resources. She will lead the work going on to increase
efficiency and effectiveness throughout all production. She will
work with production teams to ensure that in-house production makes
the best use of resources and technology to deliver innovative ideas
and approaches to programme making.
Prior will seek out and champion new ways of working, will spearhead
the exchange of information about developments in production management
and will explore ways of improving production methods. She will
liaise closely with the central change@bbc team and with colleagues
in resources, technology and finance.
Thompson said, "This is a very important role for the BBC.
Getting the best possible value for money that we can out of production,
while still producing excellent content, must be a key priority
for us. Dorothy's many achievements include delivering two hugely
successful children's channels which have helped pioneer innovative
and effective approaches in production and the use of resources.
This experience will be of enormous value in her new role."
