The research methodology
- Deepened the organisations understanding of their local communities
- Ensure the research identifies real needs
- Created a sense of local ownership and participation
- Avoided unnecessary duplication of provision
- Gave local people a say in the future of their communities
- Add value to local community groups and local people
The research enabled a cross section of community groups and business to deliver their services whilst engaging the community throughout the project. The research also enabled organisations to set clear goals and gain a credible understanding of the area in terms of needs and opportunities.
The research methodolgy is not theoretical but action orientated resulting in a clear mandate for each organisation to bring value to their clients and their communities.
The approach involves the following phases. Each phase moves progressively from high-level to more detailed investigation.
Phase 1: Project inception meeting
Phase 2: Desktop research
Phase 3: Stakeholder focus groups
Phase 4: Community engagement
Phase 5: Final debrief
Phase 6: Close – Over to the client
