Retired CBA. Administered large infrastructure loans. Worked with talented execs in construction companies, lawyers, accountants, over 70 global banks

Question 1: Which priority group of the Try, Test and Learn Fund does your idea support?

• Young students at risk of long-term unemployment

Question 2: What need or issue are you trying to address?

SMH article 'Crying out for a new beginning' (Rachel Olding) describes Bourke NSW, with a high Indigenous youth population, as highest crime rate and unemployment in Aust. Walgett, Dandenong, Cobar, Alice Springs, Mt. Gambier, Kalgoorlie, Wellington also evidence: assault, break and enter, motor vehicle theft, malicious damage to property, child sexual abuse, family violence, crystal meth addiction. These regional towns are high 'Working age payment recipients' characterised by: youth suicide, school absenteeism, boredom, social disadvantage, dilapidated housing, neglect of children, early experimentation with alcohol, petrol sniffing and cigarette smoking. Many of these 'Unlucky' teenagers never rec'd mentoring to experience synergies from 'team bonding', acquire effective communication skills, develop an appetite for education and self-belief. Three Philanthropic Elder Colleagues from each of Ten Aust. Corporate Sponsors 'need' to provide mentoring to 14 Accepted Year 9 Aboriginal Students in each of Six Regional Townships from the Selected Six Townships In The Northern Territory With A Population >2000 over three years. Each Sept. school holidays 120 Accepted Year 9 Aboriginal Students from ten isolated Regional Townships will compete at one of two selected metropolitan cities in one of three Motivational Annual Teams Challenges (1st Year: Team Bonding, 2nd Public Speaking, 3rd Social Media).

Question 3: What is your idea?

At CBA, I experienced the untapped 'administrative' skill and 'funding' resource within senior execs at Australia's largest Corporates. Many approaching retirement are keen-to-give-back to Australians that have not been as Lucky, provided they can apply the specialist skills they possess. Three Philanthropic Elder Colleagues from each of Ten Corporate Sponsors will administer/fund a Life Skills Philanthropic Service Movement to provide (over three years) to 140 Accepted Students [live in Selected Six Townships In The Northern Territory With A Population >2000 who form Ten Regional Township Teams]-
1. Three Motivational Teams Challenges to experience/learn (Team Bonding, Public Speaking, I.T. And Social Media); and
2. On-Site Workshops that deliver Mentoring Support Messages:
* Four Nasty Pitfalls Besetting Teenagers (Omnipresent Advertising Traps, Salt and Fat Dependence In Fast Foods And High Caffeine Drinks, Quicksand Of Recreational Drug Dependence, Motor Vehicle Fatality Rates Amongst Drivers Under 25); and
* Combating Life's Negative Stressors With Regular Positive Stressors.
Australian TV audiences can evidence Unlucky Australians receiving 1. and 2. above during 34 x One Hour RTV Episodes of "Attaining Teenager Life Skills" where the Motivational Incentive Of RTV induces max. commitment from 140 Accepted Year 9 Aboriginal Students, Ten Indigenous Local Connectors, 30 x Wise Old Owls, 12 x Sporting Role Models. Ten CEO's will enjoy enhanced Brand Name from displaying Corporate Social Responsibility. Initial 10 x One Hour RTV Episodes of "Attaining Teenager Life Skills" shown on ABC1 starting Oct 2019. Several hundred thousand Australian teenagers, in particular Socially Disadvantaged teenagers in remote parts of Australia who are not excelling, or did not excel at junior high school, will 'see first hand' from Three Motivational Teams Challenges, and also Mentoring Support Messages, that they can relate to during 34 x One Hour RTV Episodes of "Attaining Teenager Life Skills", that they too can Maximise Life Opportunities.

Question 4: What makes your idea innovative, new or different?

Draws upon 'the union' of Motivational Incentive of RTV and Administrative and Funding capability of Ten Corporate Sponsors [within Aust's largest companies across 10 industry sectors] that each provide Three Philanthropic Elder Colleagues that possess Three Wise Old Owl Qualities to use their Project Development Expertise and bring Complimentary Low Cost Initiatives to Administer the 'Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills' Early Intervention Program to achieve Thirteen Deliverables which includes Public Relations Bonanza for Ten Corporate Sponsors and Closing The Gap In Indigenous Disadvantage. My 'idea' deploys the same extensive 'due diligence' protocols: Program Budget Costs (20 worksheets) $1.5m (paid by 10 Corporates), Executive Summary, +200 Defined Terms and Documents, Structure Diagram, Thirteen Deliverables, SWOT Analysis, Information Memorandum and other benchmarking measurement formats used by Risk Mgt. committees to determine which Investment Banks' "new deals" are worth lending to. Six different risks are considered - credit, market, operational, reputation, systemic, keyman.

Question 5: What hypothesis will your idea test?

Will the union of Motivational Incentive of RTV, a Indigenous Local Connector (retired school teacher or policeman) in each of the Six Regional Townships and 30 Philanthropic Elder Colleagues that possess Three Wise Old Owl Qualities (keen to give something back to Unlucky Australians) -
(i) effectively use Project Development Expertise and bring Complimentary Low Cost Initiatives to display Corporate Social Responsibility during 34 x One Hour RTV Episodes of "Attaining Teenager Life Skills"
(ii) thereby be a Public Relations Bonanza For Ten Corporate Sponsors; and
(iii) do what has never been done in Bourke NSW - deliver a cost-effective preventative health program?
Will the high 'Working age payment recipients' presently directed at Bourke, Walgett, Alice Springs 'et al' noticeably reduce within 5 years as New Role Models surface In Ten Isolated Country Towns through Building Upon Valuable Survival Skills that Enhance Pride In These Towns to Chip Away To Fracture The Welfare Dependence Cycle?

Question 6a: 3 months' time

End April 2019: Increased confidence from 30 Elder Colleagues, Ten Indigenous Local Connectors and 140 Accepted Students from 10 Lowest Socio-Economic Regions that the Year 9 'Mixed Teams' Tri-Sports Challenge will take place in the coming Sept school holidays with five Regional Township Teams competing in Adelaide and another five Regional Township Teams competing in Brisbane.

Question 6b: 6 months' time

End July 2019: 120 Accepted Students will shortly fly or coach to either Brisbane of Adelaide (staying at GPS schools with vacant boarding accommodation over holidays) to compete in the Year 9 Mixed Teams' Tri-Sports Challenge (Soccer, Tennis & Basketball) in the imminent Sept school holidays - shown over 10 x one hour episodes of "Attaining Teenager Life Skills" from late Oct 2019.

Question 6c: 12 months' time

End Feb 2023: Following RTV success of Year 9 'Mixed Teams' Tri-Sports Challenge, 14 Accepted Students at each of Six Regional Townships will commence acquiring Public Speaking Skills, under the tutelage of their Indigenous Local Connector, initially preparing one minute speeches on topics that interest them and progressively increasing duration of their speeches and the complexity of topics.

Question 6d: The longer term (around 2 to 5 years)

Thirteen Deliverables include:
* Closing Gap In Indigenous Disadvantage and Counter Violent Extremism And Radicalism
* Targets The Indigenous Advisory Council's Three Priority Areas
* Enables New Role Models In Isolated Country Towns - Enhance Pride In These Towns
* Chip Away To Fracture The Welfare Dependence Cycle
* Facilitates Social Citizenship Achieves Benefits Of Social Inclusion

Question 7: How would your idea be delivered?

The delivery vehicle is the Life Skills Philanthropic Service Movement explained/scoped in:
1. ATLSEIP Information Memorandum
2. SWOT Analysis
3. Executive Summary
4. What, Who, Where, When, Why, How & How much?
5. Program Budget Costs (20 worksheets - $50,000 pa by each of Ten Corporate Sponsors aggregates to $1,500,000 over three years)
6. Business Case Questions
7. Structure Diagram
8. How To Proceed With ATLSEIP
9. Why The ABC Should Proceed With ATLSEIP
Life Skills Philanthropic Service Movement is an Aust. response to America's portrayed mortgage on Philanthropy. Philanthropic soon to retire, or recently retired, senior execs provide their time, expertise and a lifetime of experience to impart 'inter alia' Complimentary Low Cost Initiatives, not their money, and enjoy direct input in programs which assist the Disadvantaged. The 10 CEOs will happily pay $50k a year from 3 years = $1.5m budget. Excel budget has 20 linked worksheets. Casual empiricism suggests that the basis of all meaningful Philanthropy is the 'giver' enjoys some/all control over where his/her giving goes

Question 8: Have you consulted with anyone in preparing this idea?

I have provided ATLSEIP on CD to a retired Chairman of King & Wood Mallesons and a retired senior exec at Macquarie Bank whom I have known for many years. Neither questioned my extensive R&D. They are interested if I can enthuse you.

Question 9: Are you working with other funders or co-funders on this idea? If so, please provide details.

Refer Question 8. ATLSEIP is Funded and Administered by Ten Corporate Sponsors for Three Benefits To Ten Corporate Sponsors:
1. enhance Brand Name and display Corporate Social Responsibility
2. 30 x Wise Old Owls 'cap-off' their careers working on a satisfying Social Inclusion Program
3. 10 x Younger Indigenous Corporate Sponsor Sports Employees benefit from marvelous 'career development experience'.

Question 10: Do you have a proposed approach for evaluating your idea?

Yes. Largest 10 Australian companies each opt to establish within 5 years of the Third RTV Year, a Philanthropic Transition to Retirement Division ("PTRD") within their Human Resources division because of the benefit to "their bottom line" of Wise Old Owls delivering cost-effective Social Inclusion programs - energised by the Motivational Incentive Of RTV and quantified on their 'balance sheet'. RTV ratings for 34 x One Hour RTV Episodes of "Attaining Teenager Life Skills" (over 3 years) will generate enormous public interest from witnessing 140 "Unlucky Australian" (140 Accepted Year 9 Aboriginal Students) acquire Three Life Skills with the guidance from Ten Indigenous Local Connectors, 30 x Wise Old Owls. and also On-Site Workshops that deliver Mentoring Support Messages: * Four Nasty Pitfalls Besetting Teenagers (Omnipresent Advertising Traps, Salt and Fat Dependence In Fast Foods And High Caffeine Drinks, Quicksand Of Recreational Drug Dependence, Motor Vehicle Fatality Rates Amongst Drivers Under 25); and * Combating Life's Negative Stressors With Regular Positive Stressors.

Question 11: Do you want to tell us anything else about your idea?

ATLSEIP is not an idea. Unless an 'inspiration' is "fully fleshed out" with comprehensive R&D under the nine benchmarking techniques listed in Question 7 above, a lot of 'learning' mistakes will be made and fiscal purse wasted. Understanding six different risks in Question 4 is integral. There is no difference to preparing an Information Memorandum seeking $750m finance to refurbish a major hospital (Brownfield) or $1.1b to construct a tunnel under Sydney Harbour (Greenfield), to preparing an Information Memo for a preventative health program. Large numbers of community-minded successful business executives, with Project Development Expertise, approaching retirement, or recently retired, could be induced to work under national Preventive Health programs which assist Unlucky Australians to improve their Life Skills, provided these community-minded successful business execs know that they will enjoy decision-making input to create the structure and operations of the national programs and someone with the skills to prepare an Information Memorandum has provided a DRAFT for their review
