A pipeline of prospects is being built; interest from local authorities, housing associations, charities and health and social care organisations. Conversion is another matter considering the climate. There is competition - Rally Round, Caucus, Jointly, Know your own Health, etc. - however; Tyze's end-user focus has a more B2C look ‘n’ feel and the responsive, user-led developments should keep it one step ahead. more >

With thanks to Elena Di Antonio, Research Manager at YouthNet for this guest blog.

Planning and running these online focus groups has been a really interesting process for us and we’ve learnt a great deal, which we thought we’d share with you.

We ran the focus groups using a virtual meeting room, and overall they were a great success: we were pleased with the number of people taking part (28 participants, with only a 12% drop out rate in the total number of young people that originally agreed to take part). Also, participants were generally very engaged throughout and gave us many varied and well considered answers. more >
