In today’s world, communities are dealing with the same economic, environmental, and social problems despite years of policies meant to address them. Our purpose then is to help communities clearly identify where policies and programs are failing to deliver real improvements. Within this context, we offer a structured process that enables community entities to determine what the problem is, why it exists, and which actions are most likely to address it effectively. The process helps communities identify the problem, see how big it is, understand where it’s headed, and consider what options might actually change the outcome. This work relies on measurable indicators that make it possible to compare past and present conditions and assess real change.
