Set Model Phase 1
The initial phase, an Environmental Scan and Baseline Study, lays the groundwork by
mapping the socio-economic landscape and identifying the unique needs and assets
of the community. This informed perspective is critical for tailoring the subsequent
steps of the SET Process to acknowledging their current state and potential for growth.
Step 1: Environmental Scan & Baseline Study
Through a Competitor Analysis we examine the successful strategies of similarly
sized corporations, drawing insightful comparisons. When setting inferred and explicit
objectives, a Monitoring and Evaluation Process is established to evaluate the short term,
medium-term, and long-term impacts on intended beneficiaries. This assessment
also ensures that the set goals are compatible with community values, emphasizing
sustainability and positive impact. We revisit the client’s needs to assess the gaps they
aim to address and their ultimate desired outcomes. Engaging with the beneficiaries
in the community is paramount. We interact with community members, leaders, and
key organizations through interviews, surveys, and discussions with police, social
workers, and other stakeholders. This comprehensive engagement helps us understand
community needs and perspectives.
