Defining the Geodesign Team & Framing a Vision
Recall your area of interest (AOI, selected in the last assignment). Write a 1-2 page paper making a case for the geodesign team you have assembled and their collective vision for the study area, including goals and objectives. Please be sure to touch on the following:
Assembling a Geodesign Team
What does success look like?
Vision Statement: Describe the geodesign team's vision for the future. A vision statement is a declaration of an organization's aspirations. It is meant to be high-level and provide direction to the team. If and when the team starts to lose sight of the vision for the project, a vision statement serves as a reminder of the overarching goal.
Goals and Objectives: Using your vision statement as a guide, please list 2-3 goals for the study area that will address the issue you identified in assignment 1. Then, for each goal, provide 2-3 objectives.
Goals are general guidelines that explain what you want to achieve. Objectives define strategies or implementation steps to attain the identified goals. Unlike goals, objectives are specific and measurable. Objectives are crucial to evalution models - helping you objectively weigh the relative benefits and impacts of the design alternatives your geodesign team comes up with for the AOI.
