The Vision For Think Leicestershire

By 18th May 2013 we will provide a range of leading edge planning, problem solving and collaborative online tools to the 1 million people who live and work in Leicestershire.

This will enable them to take greater personal responsibility for making a difference at home, at work and in the community. Supporting this will be a team of 1000 volunteer coaches who will have received world-class training and be assisting local communities to improve the lives of people within the county.

There is massive untapped community spirit, skill, and other resources within the areas, neighbourhoods and communities we live and work in. Our aim is to unleash this.

Our experience at Go MAD Thinking will enable us to harness the collective power of the community and equip people and volunteers with the tools they need to make a difference.

There are 3 Key elements to the Think Leicestershire Programme:

• Provide an online Web 2.0 Community Content Xchange (CCX) social media platform (based on our existing software) to facilitate the exchange of ideas and connect people, community groups and employers with opportunities to give, share and take action.
• Provide free access to an online personal development tools to equip people with the thinking, planning and problem solving skills to help themselves, their families and their community.
• To recruit, train and support 1000 volunteers as Think Leicestershire community coaches to help people learn and apply the key success principles about Making A Difference.
