Preparation

The pairings run every 3 months: January, April, July, and October.

At the beginning of the month, send out an email (remember to use BCC) to participants to remind them that the next round is coming up and that they can opt out if they wish to. Give participants a week's notice.

You can also publicise the network to try and increase signups, via Slack

You can mark participants as inactive by setting the value in the "active" column in the participants info spreadsheet to FALSE instead of TRUE

Participants info

This is stored in a spreadsheet held on the Strategy Unit Data Science Team's Sharepoint site
