The programme will run from Monday 5 February to Friday 13 April. You will work in teams to explore a major challenge within an organisation and as you tackle your assigned challenge, you will meet leaders from global businesses, government and not-for-profit organisations. This will help you and your fellow participants understand the challenge and find creative ideas to solve it. During the 2018 pilot programme you will be working within the fields of housing, health and transport. Some of the organisations you could meet include: TFL, Housing Association Charitable Trust, Poplar Harca, UCL Partners, Medicines sans Frontiers, London Met, Infinity Sutton, Cross Rail and NHS. Challenges run on similar programmes in the past include helping housing associations to identify ‘at risk’ tenants to prevent homelessness, and working with transport providers in making contactless payment inclusive for marginalised groups.
