Co-Lab supports its partner councils by helping them identify and realise shared opportunities.
Once an idea is identified or shared with us, we assess if it’s something we can investigate immediately. More often than not, it is added to our list of ideas that the Co-Lab Board annually reviews and prioritises.
If validated, ideas become projects and move through our ‘Opportunity Assessment’ process. At each stage of this process we aspire to optimise the amount of effort required to reach a decision point. If our findings to that point indicate that the opportunity will be viable, then we move onto the next stage.
Co-Lab follows the Better Business Case process as promoted by NZ Treasury.
