Cards

Participants expressed their expectation in relation to economic development in cards.

Then, participants brainstormed on what Enhancing economic development means in Fort Severn.

Participants "sprayed" their ideas on a spray diagram, and then ordered their thoughts and ideas describing:

- the vision or results that the economic development workers are working towards (large bubbles),
- the programs they are involved with (in green),
- desired programs (in orange),
- how they are using and plan to use the technology that the SMART project brings to the community (in red),

- how they would like to use the technology (in blue), and
- what to measure to show that the visions or goals were being reached, or that the programs were moving ahead (yellow sticky papers)
