Former UK Sport Chair Sue Campbell said that effective collaboration between the Australian Institute of Sport and the state institutes "is the key to returning Australia to its former position as one of the world’s leading Olympic nations," according to Nicole Jeffery of THE AUSTRALIAN. Campbell believes that "the Australian system needs only tweaking to return to its glory days." Campbell said, “I don’t doubt your system will come back and do great things in future. If you work collaboratively across the AIS and the states, you will come back with a force. I don’t think it’s a massive revolution needed. I think it’s the evolution of a very strong system, but it needs to travel in one direction with the AIS, the states and the sports’ governing bodies." Campbell expects that turning Australia’s fortunes around after a "slump in performance" at the London Olympics "will be a good bit easier than it was to create the British system." Campbell: “For us, it was more like a revolution. It was changing the mindset and the culture and creating momentum and a way of driving the system" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 11/12).
