IMPACT magazine is a free bi-annual publication
produced by The OR Society. It is packed
with real-world examples of how to use analysis to make better decisions. It‘s
full of thought-provoking articles and it‘s FREE.
The fourth issue contains the
usual eclectic mix of stories of analytical work making an impact in a variety
of organisations, including how Operational Research being used to help
not-for-profit organisations. In South Africa,
Shout-it-Now, which is involved in
HIV counselling and testing, used simulation to
help them contribute significantly
to reducing the rate of new HIV infections. In the
UK, Bloodwise, a specialist blood
cancer charity, took advantage of the OR Society’s
Pro Bono scheme, which provided
a volunteer analyst to help it understand better
the various audiences with which it
seeks to engage. Details of the scheme are found in
the article.
