Define assessment criteria
Established common fields and decision questions so programs researched by different team members could be compared fairly.
The approach
Research broadly. Decide consistently. Leave a system behind.
I coordinated the project as both a research task and a team-delivery problem: define the method first, divide the work clearly and bring the outputs back into one consistent decision structure.
Coordinate a five-person team
Allocated research responsibilities, aligned expectations and consolidated findings while maintaining a consistent standard.
Structure more than 50 programs
Turned scattered eligibility, timing and funding information into a reusable database rather than leaving it across separate notes.
Prioritise and communicate
Converted the research into a practical shortlist and a 20+ page advisory report explaining where attention should go and why.
Business value
Better prioritisation today, less duplicated research tomorrow.
- Created a consistent basis for comparing diverse funding programs.
- Separated promising opportunities from low-fit options.
- Preserved the research in a format that could be refreshed and reused.
- Combined team leadership, stakeholder thinking and clear written communication.
