MetroQuest can be used in a wide range of regional planning projects, including:

• Long range planning
• Regional visioning
• Official community planning
• Growth management
• Stakeholder consultation

Engaging workshops designed to meet your goals
We train you to deliver a range of different workshops designed to meet your objectives. While workshops can achieve a range of objectives, it’s important to focus each workshop on the highest priority outcome. Workshop designs focus on:

• Collecting feedback on values and priorities
• Creating a common vision
• Educating on the impacts of choices
• Gathering input on acceptable tradeoffs
• Developing consensus on a preferred plan, or
• Generating support for a chosen plan

Useful throughout the entire planning cycle
The need for MetroQuest in the path leading up to a preferred plan is clear:

• Establish priorities
• Explore options
• Visualize alternatives
• Evaluate scenarios
• Select preferred plans

But don’t stop there - use MetroQuest throughout implementation of the plan.

• Reinforce your plan - Maintaining support for your plan among decision makers and your community is critical for success. Regular reinforcement of the benefits of the selected plan and the costs of the alternatives is critical to your success.
• Monitor your progress – MetroQuest produces a wide range of sustainability indicators that can be used to plot the path towards a desired future. Collect data regularly and compare it with MetroQuest’s projections to monitor your region’s progress towards sustainability.
