To get the most from this resource

The step-by-step development of the network — from identifying gaps, to appointing champions, to integrating into governance — provides a useful model for any organisation setting up a new staff network. The evidence of impact section includes concrete metrics (representation rates, applicant numbers, system changes) that can be adapted as a framework for measuring the success of a similar initiative.
