Book an Opportunity Scan

The call tests whether one MCDS-aligned use case is ready for a Scan — and we will be upfront if it is not there yet. We are not scoping an institution-wide programme.

Without one named use case there is nothing to scan.

If it keeps happening, it is worth fixing. Two examples are enough.

Sector work moves when two people are behind it — the person who funds it and the person who deals with the problem day to day.

So we can be honest with you about whether a Scan is fundable this cycle.

The reporting templates, spreadsheets or evidence packs the Scan would work from.

These reviewers appear later anyway. Meeting them early saves weeks.

A month is fine. It lets us make sure we can actually start when you want to.

We reply within two business days. The Scan needs one named use case, someone senior to back it, and someone who lives with the problem. The call works out whether you have all three.

If the use case is not ready yet, the conversation is still worth having — we will tell you what would need to exist first, and stay in touch as it develops.

Prefer to start smaller? Take the two-minute Use-Case Check  ·  Or just call (02) 8213 9000.
