Personalizes the process and will build support
 Surveys: Internal/external. “Benchmark Survey”,
compare facilities
 Focus Groups: Form group to share thoughts; 5-12
with a facilitator. Vary the make-up
Influencing



Comments/Suggestions: Collect from users
& staff. Valuable information. Keep record of
