The following summarizes a typical feasibility study process for a government department project. Government projects differ only in that community consultation is usually mandated. Large projects being undertaken by private enterprises may benefit from involving the community as well - this process works equally well for them.
Phase 1 Project Development:
Identify stakeholders, develop a steering committee, produce a terms of reference, hire a feasibility planning consultant if necessary, determine the study process timeline and milestones, develop task teams, clarify roles and responsibilities, and determine how the team will communicate.
Phase 2 Background Research:
Collect data, trends analysis, market analysis, community demographics profile, identify issues and opportunities related to the service or project being considered.
Phase 3 Community Consultation:
Undertake a community needs assessment through focus groups, forums, surveys. Hire market research experts if required.
Phase 4 Service Concept Development:
Develop service concept and format, resource requirements, capital requirements, service delivery alternatives, financial strategies.
Phase 5 Community Consultation and Market Testing:
Obtain input on service concept and format, delivery alternatives, costing and pricing strategies. Focus groups, surveys, forums.
Phase 6 Final Recommendations:
Develop final recommendations on the service format, preferred delivery approach, government role and involvement and implementation strategy.
