Putting the Community's Roadmap to Work
The Think Tank built a method for community-led economic development. Ward 8 is where it was proven, not where it ends.
What We Do
Data that serves the community.
We run a six-stage method that helps the community extract the root to the issues it is facing. We read the data with them and analyze what no single organization can see on its own. Technology and AI extend the methodology and move the process through each stage of pattern recognition, gap identification, planning to implementation.
What this includes
- Readiness Assessment
- Root Cause Analysis
- Knowledge Gathering
- Data Analysis
- Planning Process
- Governance and Stewardship
