<h1 style="color:#3f2a56">'''What are good problems for the Accelerator?''' </h1>We’ve defined a list of criteria for business problems that are a good fit for the CSPS Digital Accelerator. This list will help guide the selection of business problems for your organization. We’re looking for problems that:

<h1 style="color:#3f2a56">'''Welcome'''</h1>The CSPS Digital Accelerator is a transformative learning experience designed for leaders and teams who want to experiment with more collaborative, open, human-centred and iterative ways of defining problems and developing solutions in a modern government era. It combines self-directed learning, hands-on workshops, specialized learning in technical fields, peer learning, coaching and mentoring in support of teams as they explore real business problems and prototype and test solutions with users.
* are actual problems, not solutions
+
<br>
* have room for exploration, space to pivot and flexible timelines
+
The CSPS Digital Accelerator builds on the success of the first two cohorts of the CSPS Digital Academy’s Premium program. Spring 2021 will be the first time we try this approach with teams, and we are excited to work with our partners to make this new approach a success.
* don't have an obvious, simple solution
+
 
* have a business owner open to solution ideas that go beyond the usual
+
<br>
* have usable data, accessible by the team, to inform the problem definition and solution

 +
The CSPS Digital Accelerator spans 14 weeks in total. It starts with the '''Exploration phase''', where learners are introduced to the Government of Canada Digital Standards, followed by the '''Discovery phase''', where teams are introduced to problem framing and user research. It continues on to the '''Alpha phase''', where teams go through specialized learning in design, data, development, DevOps and artificial intelligence, and start prototyping solution ideas. It ends with '''Demo Day''' when teams present their problems and their prototyped solutions to a nationwide audience of public servants and government executives. In addition to learning specific to teams, the CSPS Digital Accelerator offers learning in digital leadership for '''executives and managers''', recognizing their key role in shaping the future of the public service.  <br>

<h1 style="color:#3f2a56"><div id="Exploration">'''Start your learning here'''</div></h1>
 +
The Exploration phase is when teams are onboarded, and learners start preparing for the Discovery phase by completing the Digital Readiness Self-Assessment and engaging in self-directed and classroom learning focused on the five Government of Canada Digital Standards most closely aligned with the objectives of the CSPS Digital Accelerator. 
 +
<br><br>
 +
'''To all prospective Spring 2021 Accelerator participants''': Completing the Digital Readiness Assessment and addressing your knowledge gaps in relation to the Government of Canada Digital Standards is an integral part of your learning journey as you get ready to enter the Discovery phase. '''Make sure you complete the Digital Readiness Self-Assessment by March 19''' to give yourself time to explore the learning resources and take the Discover Digital learning modules.

<h3>'''Bridge your knowledge gaps '''</h3>
   −
* go beyond the purely technical, and can potentially result in a deep change in the way people think about or do their work
+
Once you’ve completed the Digital Readiness Self-Assessment, bridge your knowledge gaps by selecting the self-directed learning we have curated for you, based on your overall and Digital Standard-specific scores.  
Our Partner Success Lead can help you select problems. Feel free to reach out to Zoe at [Mailto:zoe.langevin@canada.ca zoe.langevin@canada.ca].

<h3>'''Discover Digital Series '''</h3>
'''Product team.''' These are the 5 to 10 people from your organization who will frame the problem during the Discovery phase, and work full time on prototyping a solution during the Alpha phase of the Accelerator.     
     −
It’s up to the participating organization to decide who will make up the Product team: employees from a single work unit, or employees from different parts of the organization assembled for the duration of the project. Either way, an ideal Product team is:
+
The CSPS Digital Academy’s [https://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/discover-series/index-eng.aspx Discover series] is a suite of foundational courses introducing new mindsets, skills and techniques to help public servants succeed in the digital era.  
<li style="margin-left:3em">multidisciplinary, with expertise and knowledge in different areas </li>
+
<br><br>
<li style="margin-left:3em">diverse (e.g. age, gender, background, experience), to ensure multiple perspectives </li>
+
Like the Accelerator’s self-directed learning, the curriculum and topics are closely linked to the Government of Canada Digital Standards. Executives, managers and employees who have been selected to take part in the Accelerator will be registered in classroom offerings of either Discover Digital in Practice, Discover Digital for Managers or Discover Digital for Executives.
The Product team is empowered to make decisions and iterate freely. Although it generally includes a Product owner, this person plays a different role than what is typically expected of a government manager.  The managers assigned to Product teams in the context of the CSPS Digital Accelerator will be exposed to this new role and what it implies.
+
<br><br>
 +
More details will be communicated in the confirmation email all participants will receive following registration (link to bookmarked Spring 2021 registration section). If there’s room, employees who won’t participate in the Accelerator will also be offered the opportunity to attend one of the Discover Digital modules. Available spaces will be distributed equally between the participating organizations.  
 +
<br>
   −
'''Supporting team'''. This team is made up of all the specialists (e.g. UX, AI) and corporate enablers (e.g. IM/IT, HR, comms, legal) who support the Product team throughout the Discovery phase and especially the Alpha phase of the Accelerator. They are not expected to work full time on the project.   
+
<h1 style="color: #3f2a56"><div id="Specialized learning">'''Specialized learning - for employees of participating organizations''' </div></h1>Learning bootcamps on specialized topics will be offered in May as part of the Alpha phase. All working-level employees participating in the Accelerator will be asked to select a stream that aligns with their interest, role and existing skills and knowledge.   
   −
'''Steering team'''. This team is composed of EX01 to EX03 who play the role of champions, guides, connectors and “roadblock busters”. Each project has its own steering team of 3-5 people, including the executives (director general, director) attached to the Product team, and the primary stakeholders of the potential solution.  
+
This great opportunity to enhance specialized skills is also extended to employees of participating organizations who aren’t part of an Accelerator team. Available spaces will be distributed equally between the participating organizations.
 +
Here is what you can expect to learn in the specialized learning streams:
 +
* '''Data:''' How to conduct data analyses, visualize data and understand ethical considerations in the use of data.
 +
* '''Design:''' Knowledge of design thinking, inclusive and accessible design, service design, content strategy, content design, information architecture, usability testing.
 +
* '''AI/ML:''' Bayesian statistics and probability theory, Python pandas, natural language processing, coding.
 +
* '''Development:''' Fundamentals of software development as applied to front-end applications and user interfaces.
 +
* '''DevOps:''' Agile software development processes, open source projects and software, Python coding, cloud computing, Docker, security and test automation, web accessibility (a11Y) testing.<br>
