Sustainability Conversation- Lenati vs ResonanceMost favored Resonance over Lenati prior to this meeting | Kaleb Brownlow (Unlicensed) & Brandon Bowersox-Johnson | Has anyone's decision changed since their followup responses? Resonance: Seems to better grasp and fit with our mission. Multiple concerns raised re: their timeline does seem quite long. Can we shorten it down to 6 or 7 months? Matt: They make the most sense and have a strong private sector angle Lenati: Carl: Has reservations on Lenati regarding their focus. We want decision made by mid-2019 so either candidate would need to adhere to this In conclusion: Most seem comfortable with Resonance; voting members who are on the call agreed Next steps: pursue phase 1 contracting with Resonance; and give them a few months of this work , then ask them to re-think the timeline. Could build in a milestone into the contract, post phase 1, which would require a review. From ease of contracting point of view it would be easier to commit to a full contract for one company or the other. Push them at the beginning on shortening the timeline-second part of contract is contingent upon whether phase 1 is 'satisfactory'
Side-note: We are doing a digital health marketing segmentation exercise; one of the examples we look at will probably be OpenLMIS. Look at financial models, public/private sector engagement. Whichever vendor we use will be engaging with Skye Gilbert (who is leading this work). Hope to have something share-able by October, this will be shared with the vendor | |
