The essence of the Keele Transformations project is to explore better ways of promoting and establishing placement opportunities with external organisations...
The past couple of months have seen some shifts in the time line for the project, as we take advantage of related initiatives and garner project-related information from them. As a key focal point of our analysis of placements activity and information requirements, our Destination Green project is coming into its own. This is a HEIF-funded Keele pilot for an internship+voucher offer for larger companies and is proving a useful test-bed for our systems analysis. The project includes user workshops which we're targeting as part of the Transformations project to get feedback and debate from participants - drawn from companies, Keele's Schools and the interns (graduates) themselves. We'll still be working in the information we're gleaning from the constituent parties individually, but the workshops are a great opportunity to get the different perspectives on information needs aired and shared. We'll then test our findings on SME companies, charities and public sector organisations who have taken placements from us in the past.
The CRM system used elsewhere in Keele that we're hoping to plug into is still a work-in-progress (i.e. we're not on it yet) but a new and welcome development is the introduction of Qlikview at Keele. We haven't started testing its capabilities wrt the Transformations project yet but it may prove a useful route to test-bed the type of dashboard view we're hoping to develop by the end of the project.
