Expectations

Once again, we gathered expectations on cards.

 

Spray Diagrams

Participants brainstormed on what LOCAL GOVERNMENT and ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT mean in Keewaywin.

The diagrams allow everyone to “spray” their ideas on to paper.

 

 

 

 

Rich Diagrams

From the spray diagram, we worked on another one, describing:

  • the vision or results that the health workers are working towards (large bubbles),
  • the programs they are involved with (in green),
  • how they are using and plan to use the technology that the SMART project brings to the community (in red),and
  • what to measure to show that the visions or goals were being reached, or that the programmes were moving ahead (yellow sticky papers)
