ICT health checks

45 infrastructure organisations across the East Midlands will be able to benefit from in depth ICT health checks fully funded by BIG Lottery Fund as part of an exciting new initiative. The comprehensive health check will help your organisation to review its uses of ICT and to answer these questions:

  • How well are we using ICT?
  • What technical options and solutions are there?
  • What should be our priorities?
  • When should we replace our computers?
  • Is the organisation's data safe?
  • How much should we spend?
  • Do we use our existing ICT effectively and productively?
  • Where can we get good value technical support?
  • How do we develop an ICT Strategy?
  • How can we work smarter?
  • How can we use ICT for collaboration with our partners?
  • And what other questions do we need to ask?
What's included?

The ICT health check is an assessment of how your ICT is helping you achieve your organisation's goals and it aims to identify ways ICT developments may be used to work more efficiently. The ICT health check includes:

• A visit from experienced staff to discuss your organisation's work, your plans for future development and how ICT can help realise them.
• A detailed review of your organisation's use of ICT - including equipment, ICT support arrangements, and staff ICT knowledge.
• A concise report containing short, medium and longer term recommendations to support your ICT planning, strategy development and staff training programme.

Organisations taking part in the reviews will also receive on-going help and support throughout the project to help you implement any changes and take account of the external demands, challenges and changes facing the voluntary sector.

If your organisation would be interested in receiving an ICT health check email Purple Zebra (admin@purplezebra.org.uk) or telephone 01623 819160 to speak to Andrew Tristram or Linda Hooton.
