The Challenge
The Solution
To obtain the experiences and insights from a representative sample of the community which was to benefit from the client's to be designed economic development plan.
A particular obstacle was the history of limited engagement with the section of the community the client's economic development plan was designed to benefit.
In partnership with the client, we developed and implemented an engagement approach that combined digital and traditional methods to reach the community, build their trust, enable them to participate and gather their insights.
Over a six week period, using these methods, the experiences and insights of a representative sample were achieved.
The client is now finalising its economic development plan.
In partnership with the client, we designed a review framework which we then implemented. Key to establishing innovative future directions for the program was building on the review findings with external data from thought leaders, literature and models of success.
A concept for the future direction of the program - based on all the data - was tested and refined with a working group of senior management and board of the client. This co-designed model - which unlike any other in Australia - is now in the process of being implemented.
