The first step in our project cycle is to understand the characteristics and specificities of a place and/or organization before we work with them. This research phase includes launching investigations that evaluate secondary data, executing research in the field, conducting interviews, visiting the location and/or creating consulting maps, images, reports and statistical data.
In this particular phase, we produce analyses, surveys and background reports that grant us a deeper understanding of the issues that the community might face and also the best ways to go forward. The main objective here is to have an overview of the organisation and this should only take a small portion of our time.
