Drivers and hurdles

A design method

Drivers and hurdles helps you identify where to concentrate energies for most effect in the next stages of your project

Why

Use this method to understand people's perceptions, manage their expectations and identify where to concentrate energies for most effect.

How

Gather together a diverse group of stakeholders in your project. Brainstorm what the workshop participants perceive to be the barriers (hurdles) and motivators (drivers) to a project's success. Collect the ideas on two separate sheets of paper.

Establish what the project can and can't address, and agree which drivers it would be best to focus on in order to overcome the hurdles.
