If you have a project related to conferences, seminars, audits, diagnostics, recommendations, training, awareness campaigns, or implementations in the fields of Economic Intelligence, Market Intelligence, Innovation, Knowledge Management, Information Analysis and Sharing, Collaborative Work, Establishing an Expert Network, or Information Protection, ThinkTankers is here to assist you!
ThinkTankers’ Intervention Process
Step 1: Receiving and Assessing Your Request
You can submit your request using our contact form. Please provide detailed information about your needs. We will carefully evaluate your request and may request additional details if necessary. Once we have a clear understanding of your requirements and have validated them against several criteria (such as genuine need, developmental impact, sender’s motivations, estimated time required, intervention country, etc.), ThinkTankers will check the availability of an expert. We will then respond to your request either affirmatively or negatively.
Step 2: Identifying an Expert and Establishing Contact
If an expert validates and accepts your project, they will directly reach out to your organization to submit their CV and references and coordinate their intervention. Our experts might be available for voluntary assistance under two conditions:
The applicant is responsible for covering travel and accommodation expenses.
The mission’s duration must not exceed three consecutive days (excluding travel). If the project entails a longer duration, it may involve experts in development projects funded by international bodies or the applicant’s organization.
In cases where the applicant does not accept the proposed expert, ThinkTankers, under specific conditions, may identify another member who can fulfill the request. If the applicant rejects a second proposed expert, the project will no longer be eligible for voluntary support.
Step 3: Definition of Intervention Conditions
The selected expert will work with the applicant to outline the project’s implementation plan. If necessary, they will develop the terms of reference (ToR) for the mission and specify the expected deliverables. A work agenda will be provided for the mission. For seminars or conferences, the presentation materials will be considered as expected deliverables.
The assignment may be executed under an intervention mandate or contract between the ThinkTanker expert and the applicant. It’s important to note that ThinkTankers’ role primarily involves project evaluation and expert linkage. We cannot be held responsible for the project’s implementation and progress, as these fall under the expert’s jurisdiction.
Step 4: Feedback and Work Evaluation
Applicants can contact ThinkTankers to report any issues or request additional support from other experts. If an issue arises, the expert responsible for the mission will provide an explanation. ThinkTankers will take appropriate actions, which may include barring the expert if the work was not conducted diligently or if the expected deliverables do not meet ThinkTankers’ quality standards. In such cases, ThinkTankers may involve another expert in the project or reassess the application if it has evolved over time
