GMCA 970 Knowledge Transfer Partnership - Data Sharing Framework

The GM Information Strategy has identified a need for academic input to help

design a business change tool that helps to embed the organisation's

information sharing framework across Greater Manchester partners. The KTP

will research and design how to most effectively create and sustain change of

practice to support the embedding of an agreed framework across a city

region. Informed by this research, the output will be tools for change that

GMCA and other organisations can use to specifically implement the data

sharing framework in their local practice and on a regional level.

This support is needed due to:

o Lack of extensive knowledge and understanding about sustaining

business change across a city region and its information sharing

practice.

o Lack of capability to develop a sound model of implementation for the

framework that can work for a range of organisations.

o The need for insight into why past projects have not been able to

secure lasting impact despite a clear appetite for a framework.
