Preparation

We begin with the appointment of the Local Coordinator. This person must have a strong ambition to create lasting change in his/her country regarding the employment of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The Local Coordinator should be a person who is well-connected and has the time to spend on the planning process. This will likely be on a volunteer basis in the initial stages.

The role of the local coordinator will be to:

• Form the initial contacts needed to trigger the planning process• Engage and coordinate with local stakeholders• Organise an advisory board consisting of key stakeholders  • Act as the key liaison to SPF during the feasibility study process • Help procure funding needed for the feasibility study phase

Assessment and training Specialisterne provides 3-5 months assessment and training, with the mission to assess and develop the personal and professional competences of specialist people* in order to help them excel in the workplace.

Assessment may act as an independent unit providing services to external stakeholders, including potential employees to public and private organizations, as well as potential business consultants.

Business consulting The Business Unit identifies and solves IT-related tasks that specialist people (the consultants), based on their unique competences, are able to perform better and more efficiently.

The mission of The Business Unit is to deliver consulting services based on specialist competences, and to function as a show case for workplaces interested in employing specialist people. 

*Specialist People are defined as high-functioning people with autism or similar challenges

Customer References: IBM Denmark

“IBM has a long history of commitment to Diversity - focusing on equal opportunities, eliminating barriers and understanding cultural differences.

As a result, when approached by Specialisterne in 2010, IBM quickly expressed its intentions to establish a long-term working relationship with Specialisterne in order to create job opportunities for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

As we speak, IBM has just hired its first two employees with ASD, with the assistance of Specialisterne. Both jobs will be in the Security Administrations department.

In addition, now IBM wants to further discuss how to expand the cooperation, for example by enrolling interns from Specialisterne in various departments.

Background Assumptions (Assessment)

Assessment ManagerThe Assessment Manager can assess up to six candidates in the initial phase and up to 10 in the operational phase.

The capacity of the AM is dependant of the state and level of candidates, the requirements to documentation in relation to subsidies and the cooperation with the trainer.

The assessment period is between 3 and 5 months.

FinanceIt is suggested that the account function is outsourced due to high level of scalability = variable cost

The finance section needs a controller when the business is in its operational phase to run the project economy and to support the CEO on reporting, financials and application of subsidies.

It is also the controllers task to analyze socio-social impacts.

Trainer The trainer is a person with IT technical background teaching candidates in the assessment period.

Background Assumptions (BIZ)

Business Manager

BM acts as a consultant on normal consultant conditions. The level of the BM is comparable to Manager level in a traditional consultancy operation.

The tasks are:• BM can scope mid- and high end tasks• Scoping and describing the job• Instruction of consultants• Responsible for job economy• Sales for existing customers• Production Finance

We suggest that the account function is outsourced due to high level of scalability = variable cost

The finance section needs a controller when the business is in its operational phase to run the project economy and to support the CEO on reporting, financials and application of subsidies.

It is also the controllers task to analyze socio-social impacts.

Internal Projects and Absence

The chargeability of consultants is 70%. This leaves some time for internal projects scoped by PM or other in SPE and may be considered as work training and utilization of available resources between assignments.

Therefore it is important that consultants are also assigned on internal projects where they can use their creativity and spare time between assignments.

Due to their diagnosis, consultants often have a higher percentage of absence. Health and Psychological Assistance

No costs included for resources within medical care, psychological assistance or psychiatrist assistance.

Consultants in the Initial phase

It is assumed that there are no consultants in Q1 and Q2. In Q3 and Q4 it is assumed that 12 consultants are hired.

Discount

No discount is included in the BM although it might be advisable as an introduction to market.

Personal Manager

PM does not act as a consultant on normal consultant conditions. The PM supports the consultants with schedules and helps them within their working situations. The PM has a pedagogical background and may also have a technical background.

The tasks are:• PM can scope low and mid-end tasks• Responsible for the consultants ‘ comfort

Health Coach

The Health coach initiates sports, exercise and provides advice to candidates and consultants about diet.
