That’s why we’re excited to have opened applications for our Reverse Pitch events. A unique collaboration between government and businesses to co-create innovative solutions to tackle some of the most complex challenges facing citizens today.
The Reverse Pitch events are an opportunity for businesses to showcase ideas and collaborate with government teams to address three key problems facing the two departments. We want to hear from companies like yours that are leading the way in innovation and technology. Whether you’re a start-up, a scale-up, or an established subject matter business, we invite you to join us by applying below.
The problem statements
Reducing the learning curve for operational staff
Frontline operational staff, who must interact with our digital products, face steep learning curves, resulting in inconsistent performance and high turnover. How can we fix some of the basics and enable staff to focus on training that means they can prioritise high-value tasks, become more competent and confident, and boost their experience in work.
Future of probation
The rehabilitation journey of a prison leaver is critical for reducing reoffending and promoting societal reintegration. How can we make rehabilitation more individualised, empowering people on probation to take ownership of their journey, and improve the effectiveness of joined up Government services?
Transforming navigation of DWP services
The Department of Work and Pensions plays a crucial role in supporting individuals in the UK, particularly those who are vulnerable or in need. Delivering transparent, accessible, and efficient services is essential to effectively serve and support customers. How can we design a more transparent and time-efficient way for citizens to access and navigate DWP services?
