THE PROBLEM WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO SOLVE?

Clients show intent, but end up not committing to the scheme to the extent we

would like. Why?

1. Low urgency – clients are not motivated to move quickly or at scale to

implement the RE:FIT London programme

2. Low priority – RE:FIT London of interest, but not considered ‘important’

enough to be a high-level priority

3. Getting buy-in – Clients struggle to sell the RE:FIT London scheme internally

4. Tangible benefits – The benefits of RE:FIT are clear,but in a world of short-

termism can feel too far away

The problem:

“Clients know that RE:FIT London makes logical sense, but it isn’t compelling

enough to create meaningful action.”

THE OPPORTUNITY

o Align our priorities to what matters most to our clients, making us essential and a hero of the public sector.

How do we do that?

- Make RE:FIT London benefits relevant to each organisation

- Make RE:FIT extremely desirable to all parties in the organisation

- Help clients to sell programme internally

- Provide a clear process that is easy to share with all decision makers and stakeholders

- Galvanises the client organisation around the opportunity
