What?
Our Impact Collaborations are a unique way of developing and enabling collaboration. Our mission is to provide the platform that brings together the appropriate data and expertise to answer our challenge questions targeted at improving the lives of children.
The Impact Collaborations process allows us to hear from you about your skills and interests and how you might be able to help us solve a problem for every child!
How?
We will work with our customers to develop a Challenge Question that looks to address an existing problem for children using innovative data science techniques or novel data sets and data linkages. Once the question is finalised, we will segment and identify the necessary skills, capabilities and competencies required for each of these.
Then it’s over to you! If you think you’re the right candidate for the role, you have the right skills and want to be involved, let us know. We’ll post an Expression of Interest form for each challenge that will allow you to detail your expertise and showcase how you would be an asset to the team.
Once we have identified the project team, we’ll bring you together with our partners to shape the details of the project. Most importantly, this will involve designing and building the project proposal that clearly answers the challenge question we set at the start of the process.
We will then present the collaborative team’s project proposal to the board for approval.
Join the Club!
Applying to be part of an Impact Collaborations project is like joining a club. All of the participants in the project are encouraged to work together, share ideas and build a proposal that reflects the unique skills and expertise that each partner brings to the table. Part of what is so valuable about the Impact Collaborations process is the opportunity to work with new individuals and organisations to solve a problem!
Interested?
We’ll be posting Challenge Questions on this page and through our social media channels regularly, so make sure to keep checking back for new challenges! You can also sign up to our newsletter for direct updates straight to your inbox.
If you think you have the right skills for the job, all you need to do is fill out the Expression of Interest form for the challenge you would like to be involved with.
If we don’t currently have a challenge that suits you but you would like to register your interest and skills for future projects, let us know by getting in touch here.
Impact Statement
We like to be transparent about our ways of working. That’s why we have completed an Impact Statement for the Impact Collaborations process (phew - that’s a bit of a tongue twister!), so you can read about our key learnings and achievements from our first few projects.
