CAST — To gain a better internal understanding of the problem space, so we can figure out what needs exist before planning further work.
Description of work
Research into how charities scope out digital work and start positive relationships with digital partners.
Here is the full Discovery Playback (Google Slides).
The biggest finding was that agency procurement is often opaque, secretive, lacking reality of working together, and unequal. However, good working relationships require transparency, trust, openness and equality. This slide highlights an often glaring misalignment in the procurement process.
Intended output
Discovery Playback, pulling together existing challenges, needs and behaviours when charities and partners work together on digital projects.
Fit with Catalyst purpose
Increase in the number of high quality relationships between charities and digital partners.
