UKriders

Work funded by the ICT Hub

This process commenced with a stakeholder event as part of the feasibility study on 17th July 2007 at NCVO in London which examined:

• the principles by which Riders work;
• ICT standards which organisations could aspire to;
• the skills required for a Rider to assist organisations to achieve those standards;
• feedback on commissioned research from ADP Consultancy and Summit Collaborative; and
• possible scenarios for training and mentoring Riders.

Notes from the meeting along with presentations are available to download:
