Case Study Client Situation
The Cancer Council SA (TCCSA) has invested in researchers in South Australia for many years, but was unsure what impact this was delivering.
TCCSA had resolved to refocus the organisation around a "research flagship" and required a strategy to invest a more significant amount in cancer research.
Approach
Working on a pro-bono basis, Pacific Strategy Partners formed a team to understand the status of Cancer Research in South Australia, and develop recommendations for a new approach.
- This team worked with TCCN staff and reported to a Board Sub-Committee. We conducted two workshops to build a common understanding of the issues and facilitate agreement on a way forward.
- This resulted new strategy being adopted that would allow TCCSA to make a $30m investment in high impact research to defeat cancer
Impact
The TCCSA Research Strategy was formally endorsed by the Board and is currently being implemented.
