Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. How many groups are there? What sort of projects are they delivering?
  2. Are you open about your motivations? Is there a healthy mix in the delivery team? Are the group’s motivations aligned with those of beneficiaries & key stakeholders? Filling the gap can help strengthen the ability to deliver projects.
  3. Remember, some projects take a long time to complete! Who’s is going to pay the shareholders in 20yrs time? Have you budgeted for an employee? How long did Osney Hydro take? – 12yrs! Team management and planning
  4. What are risks? AND What can be done to mitigate them? Legislation changes Contractor goes bust No support from Local Authority Reliance on grants Weak contracts developed & used
  5. Are you credible? Who is backing you? What is your track record? Why your group vs commercial option? When will you turn a profit?
  6. LA Point of View It’s not just about red tape Las have to be prudent and invest with a return Examples of fwd thinking and backward Las
  7. Useful approaches What to look out for if being pitched to
  8. Conclusion
