Department Name: Management Science and Innovation
Abstract
The Innovating Across Sectors (IaS) research program examines the challenges of partnering across sectors (cross-sectoral partnerships) to provide public goods, such as healthcare. IaS research focuses on newly-formed partnerships between the public sector (government services and systems) and the third sector (i.e. community, nonprofit organizations, open source networks and databanks). IaS further focuses on examining those partnerships where new digital technologies (platforms, social media, artificial intelligence), often created by the private sector, have a prominent role. The challenge of creating, maintaining, managing and regulating these partnerships is heightened because they involve multiple stakeholders (service users such as patients, professionals and professional associations, private companies, organizational leaders, policymakers and the public).
IaS leverages an interdisciplinary research team, as well as both qualitative and quantitative research methods, to examine in real-life settings a series of cases in the UK and Canada with plans to expand to the USA and more countries.
We aim to address important questions of how these new innovative partnerships emerge, how they can be sustainable, to understand their intended and unintended consequences for various stakeholders and how these are regulated or managed in real-life settings.

Planned Impact
From this research, benefits will flow to:
- Public sector and third sector organizations directly involved in this study as research partners, because my research will yield actionable findings to guide in the improved design and implementation of partnerships. This will have immediate benefit.
- Public sector and third sector organizations and government officials in the UK, because the cross-country comparisons will yield insights on PTS effectiveness and sustainability which in turn will benefit the economic competitiveness of the UK. Also the broad utility of the findings will increase the effectiveness of public services not only in healthcare but also in other human services (e.g. education, childcare, immigration services).
- Policy-makers within the UK and the US, because findings will inform current conversations on the value of PTS through cross-case analysis which yields generalizable findings. Drawing on these findings I will create policy briefings to contribute to the redesign of the Key Lines of Enquiry set out by the Care Quality Commission and the latest update of the UK Taskforce on Empowering People and Communities. My evidence-based recommendations will also be of direct interest to the What Works Centre for Wellbeing, which has just started exploring evidence-building proposals, and for the Health and Wellbeing Alliance established in 2017 to give NHS England, Public Health England and the Department of Health and Social Care access to voluntary organization co-design partners.
- The wider public. More effective and sustainable PTS partnerships will benefit directly mental health patients whose care delivery will improve in the context of my study. As mental illness impacts on the wellbeing of patients as well as their communities, more effective co-delivery care models will benefit society as a whole. Also, findings from this study will be transferrable to other public services (education, childcare, immigration services) therefore maximizing the benefit to the wider public.
Dissemination of the research findings will target all relevant levels: academia, industry and policy. Through disciplinary and interdisciplinary conference and invited talks, me and my team will target academic audiences. For governments and third sector organizations, I will create a publicly-accessible Learning e-series and a knowledge exchange platform. For current and future industry leaders, I will develop experiential learning materials and also publish findings in practitioner-facing journals. For my research partners, I will deliver workshops and reports.

Cross Sectoral Collaboration in Management and Public Policy: The 'Weaving' of a Field across Scholarly Communities, Theoretical Perspectives and Phases
in Journal of Management Studies (cond.acceptance)
| Description | After significant delays caused by Covid19's impact on health services worldwide, and on our research team, we are now in the beginning of Y3 of the award and delighted to report some initial but promising findings: 1. The Canadian arm of IaS has generated unique insights into the emergence of cross-sector collaborations for healthcare provision, which is at the core of our award's objectives. These insights are made possible only because of the uniqueness of the empirical setting and the incredible access we have achieved through partnerships with the Ministry and local academic collaborators. In short, our data shows which combinations of work practices and governance structures are more, or less, likely to generate sustainable cross-sector collaborations among organisations, and how these contribute to equitable healthcare provision. We show this longitudinally, which is important to be able to argue which 'combinations' are sustainable over time. These findings are novel for researchers across disciplines and for policymakers. Importantly, this dataset and knowledge base opens up new research questions about the role of digital practices in cross-sector collaborations for healthcare. 2. The UK arm of IaS has generated a novel qualitative and quantitative dataset on cross-sector collaborations for healthcare provision, which is at the core of our award's objectives. In short, our data speaks to the motivations, aptitudes and characteristics that may generate more, or less, sustainable collaborations between public and third sector organisations for health service provision. This dataset and knowledge base allows us to identify the process by which such collaborations generate new cross-sectoral identities. This insight has already won an award (by one of the IaS team members). 3. The role of digital technologies and tools in cross-sector collaborating, a key component of IaS examinations, has been pursued through new new research networks/collaborations/partnerships with medical and computer science researchers and scholars and technology companies. This expansion of the research team has led also to increased research capability. This further means that our core IaS team has developed new and much improved research methods and skills to address the important new questions opened up on the role of digital technologies, in particular those that are powered by artificial intelligence. 4. We have developed research infrastructure to increase capacity and research interest in the field of cross-sector collaborations, through creating and sharing publicly an online website containing a platform for all work published so far on cross sector collaborations 5. We have engaged with policymakers, as well as with practitioners in the frontlines, leaders of healthcare and third sector organisations, and with the entire ecosystem (e.g. Pharma, Tech companies). This comprehensive approach and diligent efforts at disseminating our insights is promising to influence policy and practice. 6. Three of my team members have successfully moved from Postdoctoral researchers into Assistant Professorship roles in research intensive universities, my PhD/MRes students have successfully upgraded and won national-level scholarships and even a Best Dissertation award. This upward career mobility is testament to the IaS program's emphasis on supporting juniors' career development, and an IaS objective. |
| Exploitation Route | 1. IaS datasets are unique. Together, they comprise a platform that can be used by others (researchers and practitioners) to further examine the emergence phase of cross-sector collaborations, what works, and under which conditions. 2. IaS data and findings are across countries. This offers a promising platform for cross-country comparisons. Further countries' inclusion in the program would be beneficial to the research community at large 3. IaS' systematic review and corresponding online platform for public access offers the opportunity to all researchers, practitioners and public to interrogate existing literature on cross-sector partnership questions. 4. IaS studies specifically focus on digital practices and tools, and especially on those powered by Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. This is the new frontier for cross-sector collaborations because the data, training and auditing that powers AI tools necessarily must be derived from public and private and third sectors in order to render an AI tool efficient. This is particularly relevant to healthcare as a sector, but similarly crucial in education, energy and communities, and social services. |

| Title | "Capturing Cross-sectoral collaborations survey" |
| Description | Our research team (PI & Dr. Lei Liu) created the first, to the best of our knowledge, survey to capture cross-sectoral collaborations both formal and informal in organizational and interorganizational settings. The survey has been developed and tested, soon to be utilised as part of our research study. This survey that is uniquely designed for cross-sectoral network research. This survey incorporates the "name generator" tool used in social network research to create the structure of networks among people who are involved in cross-sector collaborations. This survey thus allows us to understand the social context of cross-sector collaborations. By disseminating the survey multiple times at different time points, researchers could also capture the interpersonal dynamics in cross-sector collaborations. |

| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | We anticipate that this survey will solve a very practical problem with evaluating cross-sectoral collaborations, namely that often they are hidden from the organizational leadership (what we refer to as "informal"). Yet this is important because organizations cannot manage what is not accounted for. We anticipate that this research tool will be valuable to scholars of cross-sectoral collaborations and also to organizational leaders. |
| Title | Interactive website through which audiences can observe, search, categorize, and add the latest papers in the cross-sector collaborations literature |
| Description | Created an interactive website through which different audiences can observe, search, categorize, and add the latest papers in the cross-sector collaborations literature. Includes more than 400 references on cross-sector collaboration that can be filtered based on discipline, publication and theme, among others. This is the first and only of its kind and it helps scholars across disciplines assess the state of knowledge in this field and move to address gaps. |

| PI Contribution | The IaS team have designed the study, hand-collected and web-scraped data (location of firms and universities), cleaned data, created a new database on the location of all universities worldwide (including their location, specializations, foundation, languages spoken, etc.), provided leadership to the project. UCL School of Management (SoM) have contributed financially to paid research assistance: approximately £1000. The SoM have also contributed £750 to create the database (using Google Cloud services to batch code the location of universities). |
| Collaborator Contribution | Access to dataset already collected (The World Management Survey) - it includes cost of international data collection and curation, over a decade on management practices. Estmated cost of data collection and curation: $25,000. Professor Daniela Scur and Professor Sarah Wolfolds (Cornell) shared data cleaning code that they had already developed on the dataset of the World Management Survey, as well as their time and knowledge, access to complementary data sets that they had collected on institutional variables and their time (aprox. meetings every three weeks for one hour). Estimated cost at $25,000. |

| Collaborator Contribution | Contributions from Fullscope consortium: the research team were offered the time of consortium members if they choose to volunteer for the survey and/or to be interviewed. The time used by Fullscope partners to be interviewed is projected to be about 50 hours over the period of a year, estimated at £40 per hour per contributor. This is estimated to be at an equivalent cost to the consortium and partners of at least £2000 in total of in kind contributions. The time used by Fullscope partners' to fill in the survey is anticipated to cost at least £2000 in total of in-kind contributions. Secondly, the time and attention of a part-time administrative assistant to support the task of organizing the interviews and disseminating the surveys is estimated to cost at £5000 (which is estimated at £25 per hour). Thirdly, the consortium will provide access to past and ongoing documents which will allow the team to gain an insider's perspective into Fullscope's functions. They will also provide the organograms of all organizations to which the survey will be disseminated and disseminate the survey internally. Thirdly, research team members will be able to conduct on-site visits and attend meetings (pending covid19 restrictions). |
