5 Emerging Concepts, Scoring Exercise and Analysis Based on the learning from the considerable community and partner consultations, the consultants developed 9 proposals for the CCDA committee to prioritise for inclusion in a Corofin Community Development plan. Each proposal was presented as a concept and detailed under the following headings: • Concept Description • Summary Market/Alignment with Wild Atlantic Way • Operational Considerations • Probable Funding • Financial Sustainability • Partnerships • Environmental Impact • Community Dividend • Risk Assessment • Possible/Probable Location • Indicative Budget Range
The Concepts were presented employing between 1000-1500 words each. The consultants then worked with the group to score each of the concepts using essential management and strategic categories that help frame the merits of each concept.
The criteria employed for assessing/scoring each concept were:• How closely the concept is aligned to the views and opinions of the general Corofin community as evidenced in the consultation process to date. • Market demand and innovation. • Financial and commercial viability including the capacity to be funded • Project practicality - is it implementable? • Environmental credentials.
