Special / Cross-Program Projects
Integrated solutions for challenges that cross traditional program boundaries.
Introduction
What this work is about
Some challenges require more than one discipline. Our cross-program projects combine health, research, education, technology, community development, communications, environment and enterprise capabilities into one coordinated solution. We build the project around the problem and intended outcomes rather than forcing it into a single category.
Goal
To create integrated, multi-disciplinary projects for complex challenges that require coordinated expertise and delivery.

How We Work
Our Approach
We start by understanding the need, the intended audience and the delivery context. We then define clear activities and responsibilities, work with relevant stakeholders, monitor progress and use feedback to improve delivery. Where appropriate, we also support documentation, handover and future development so that useful learning continues beyond the immediate project.
