Your progress
How does this relate to the achievement of the 4 Big
Local outcomes?
Communities will be better able to identify local needs and take
action in response to them.
People will have increased skills and confidence, so that they
continue to identify and respond to needs in the future.
The community will make a difference to the needs it prioritises.
People will feel that their area is an even better place to live.

In Allenton they created a step-by-step
approach to their review:
revisiting the vision – how does it sound
a year on?
reviewing the landscape – has anything
major changed locally we need to be
mindful of going forward?
How have areas reviewed?
reviewing the themes and activities
activity headings had short summaries, which
they then followed-up by answering some
quick questions about them together
they then marked all of their activities on a
grid called the Boston Matrix which uses 4
ideas to review progress
looking at the implications of their
review for the coming year and actions
required
How have areas reviewed?
Tools – the ‘Boston matrix’Donkeys: not much effort, but not much
impact. So why are we doing this and how do
we move forward? Should we drop it?
Question marks: a lot of effort and not yet
much impact. So, what are the cost /
benefits? When and how do we expect
greater impact?
Community cows: low effort and high
impact. Sounds ideal, but how do we keep
this going and when do we know it is time to
stop?
Rising stars: a lot of effort and a lot of
impact: So, are we ok with the impact and
effort? What’s likely to change and what
should we do?
Story 1: a healthier, thriving economy
Our activities
1. Establish a local market
2. Support people with
enterprise/business ideas
3. Tackle the barriers to
employment
4. Tackle financial hardship (eg,
advice and credit union)
5. Promote business development
in the area and bring in
investment and/or jobs
The differences we want to see
People with enterprising ideas will be able to
make them happen
A new market will bring businesses to the area
and encourage local spending
More opportunities for training, work
experience/ apprenticeships / jobs
Better access to financial advice and affordable
financial support
More confidence, skills and aspirations to find
work
More business, trade and enterprise
More local residents self-employed or
employed)

What do we want
to find out in our
review?
What methods /
tools might help us
to do this? Who
should we ask to
find out?
When do we need to collect
this evidence?
Who is going to collect
it?
What resources will we need,
including any financial costs?
What would you
like to know about?
Is this about your
overall Big Local
vision? Or your
individual Big Local
projects?
Given the questions
you have identified,
how might you go
about finding the
answers?
When do you need this
information by? How can you
plan ahead to make sure you
have the information when you
need it? What will you do with
this information when you have
it?
Who is able to carry out
the evidence collection?
Can you get local partners
to help you?
Have you thought about any other
resources you will need to support you
to get the information you need, or to
