Project overview

NE Cambridge Innovation District

Capabilities demonstrated: Stakeholder engagement, value proposition development, governance.

Client: Global Institution Innovation Districts for Crown Estates 

Date: August 2023 - on going

​

The job to be done

Bring key stakeholders together to develop a strong and highly tactical vision and value proposition around which to organise for success.

 

​The key challenges

Multiple stakeholders from the public, private and academic sectors with different perspective on what an Innovation District for NE Cambridgeshire should seek to deliver. This is against a backdrop of intense development pressures within the Cambridgeshire region.

​

The approach taken

• An initial workshop in August to understand the scope of the project and issues to be addressed

A second study starting in November to:

• Clarify the strategic intentions of partners in the short, medium and long-term.

• Identify common ground - areas of synergy or potential collaboration, where additional value can be created through collaboration.

• Develop a delivery model and governance arrangements enabling you to work in a more integrated way. 

​

Outcome and impact

We are at the start of our discussions and will be preparing recommendations in early 2024.
