Our current Sprint Challenges

Across the public, third and private sectors, organisations and programmes need to model the impacts of projects being considered, and once projects are operational to evidence the actual impacts they make. This is required because establishing those impacts, and the resulting value for money, are key requirements for all initiatives, large or small.

Organisations and programmes are often multi-sector and multi-disciplinary, with a rich breadth of primary and secondary outcomes across a wide range of areas including economic, societal, cultural and environmental benefits. This Challenge seeks a robust, streamlined and user friendly way that enables us to predict impact when planning future projects, and then track the developing outputs and outcomes to evidence and demonstrate the full ‘in the round’ impact.

So, how can we use technology to predict and measure the impact of projects and investments?

South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE) has a mission to support businesses, social enterprises, and communities in the South of Scotland. One of the key areas of support we want to develop focusses on the circular economy and Scotland’s ambition to reach a Net Zero economy by 2045.

So, how can we use technology to support the circular economy and Net Zero ambitions?
