Why US? Keeping Capability.

This is about building a narrative to demonstrate why yours is the best team for this research proposal. The workshop exercise reframes typical gender-based career narratives away from the cards you have been dealt and towards how to play those cards and win the game.

This will centre around a ‘Team SWOT analysis’ – what are its Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. We will then formulate strategies to leverage strengths, counter weaknesses, and take up opportunities to offset threats. We will consider:

  • How your AIs and CIs add to your team to fill ALL the requirements for skills, experimental systems etc in the research proposal, and how you can close any gaps.

  • How you can demonstrate genuine collaboration with each member of the team despite differing levels of experience.
