It
is essential that the projects are realistically assessed
as to whether they can be delivered locally. A workshop
with the agencies and / or commercial organisations
that may have a hand in delivery will clarify the gaps
in funding, resources or commercial / political will.
Project ideas can then be tailored to offer the best
chance of success. This ensures that the eventual programme
is realistic and viable.
One
way to do this is to run group 'game'
sessions - either on the same day or separately - for
the various key interests.
From these sessions, prioritise, say, the top twelve
projects.
Then
invite the agencies or other organisations - who are
some of the key interests - to indicate which projects
they will support. This could be through, for example:
- Funding
- Help
in kind
- Endorsement
Draw
up a matrix of projects against agencies, and fill in
the cells with symbols indicating the type of support.
You will then rapidly see which projects are most feasible.
The
next step is to appoint project
"drivers" and form "teamlets"
to support them in their development work.
