A blog by Roger Halliday, Chief Statistician and Head of Performance, Scottish Government.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

The Analytical Exchange programme aims to offer free support to 3rd sector organisations in Scotland around data, analysis, statistics and research. It does this by matching analysts working the Scottish public sector with 3rd sector organisations needing help on very short sharp projects (up to 10 person days) where statistical or analytical skills could make a difference to their organisation. Individuals or small groups of public sector statisticians, economists or researchers then act as an analytical consultancy to solve problems in 3rd sector organisations and would be delivered for free.<\/p>\n

This scheme has run since 2012. In total public sector analysts have supported over 175 projects providing a total of around 600 days of support to 3rd sector organisations. Most placements were about how you:<\/p>\n

\u2022 measure, monitor and evaluate success
\n\u2022 bring together evidence around a subject, or
\n\u2022 manage and make sense of data you collect.
\n\u2022 visualise your data to communicate messages clearly
\n\u2022 structure a significant problem.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m now launching the 2019 programme. If this is something that you think your organisation could benefit from, I\u2019d love to hear from you. However, to ensure we get the best fit between your needs and the skills of the analysts in the scheme, to be considered you need to compete the short attached application<\/a>. Can you send this to me by e-mail: chiefstatistician@gov.scot by Friday 1st March. Matching analysts to organisations will happen soon after and then it will be up to matched analysts and organisations to arrange a mutually beneficial time to do the work.<\/p>\n

An application form for individual analysts can be accessed here:
\n2019 – Analytical Exchange – Analyst Application Form<\/a><\/p>\n

A slight note of caution is that, based upon the level of interest last year, there may well need to be some prioritisation. Shorter pieces of work may be favoured to maximise the spread of this scheme. I look forward to reading your bids and if you have any questions beforehand, also drop me a note on the e-mail address above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
