=='''<big><big><big>The Surge Team</big></big></big>'''==
<big>The Surge Team provides support on projects across government where quick action or breakthroughs are needed. We are housed at the Canada School of Public Service.</big>
<big><big>Established at the Canada School of Public Service in late 2018, the Surge Team supports policy projects where quick action or breakthroughs are needed. We do not have ongoing files. Instead, the team collaborates with partners on time-limited projects at the School and across the federal public service.</big>
<br>
<br>
<big>In all of our work we emphasize clear problem definition and rigorous analysis. We often play the role of a neutral third party or challenge function to help to our partners identify desired outcomes and outputs. To achieve these outcomes, our team of policy professionals has a range of experiences, perspectives, skills, and toolsets that help us deliver on partners' needs, including deliverables such as policy briefs, decision documents, presentations, and facilitated sessions. </big>

==<div id="FAQ">'''<big><big>FAQ</big></big>'''==
'''<big>How many projects does Surge normally take on?</big>'''
<big>Typically, 2-4 projects at any given time, with start and end-dates staggered.</big>
'''<big>What is the average duration of a project? How many analysts work on a project?</big>'''
<big>Projects usually last from 2 to 8 months. A project team will typically include 3-5 analysts. We do not 'loan out' analysts to departments, unlike the Free Agent Program.</big>
'''<big>How does the cost sharing approach to projects work?</big>'''
<big>CSPS and the partner department sign an MOU outlining costs, roles, timelines and deliverables. Costs are based on analysts' hourly wages and any additional O&M costs, if applicable (e.g., costs to hire an external speaker).</big>
<big>All partner projects are cost-shared - CSPS takes on a certain portion of the project costs (based on discussions and agreement with partners). Funds are collected through an Interdepartmental Settlement, typically from partners' O&M budgets.</big>
<big>'''How long does the MOU take to put in place?'''<br />We can normally draft and share an MOU quickly (1-2 weeks), after scope, timelines, and deliverables have been discussed and agreed upon.</big>
