Engagement: Gathering Data for Project Feasibility

We find successful feasibility studies arise from engaging with target audiences in meaningful ways. While data is essential, uncovering the right data revolves around a pivotal question: "What's in it for them?"

Project feasibility in health and social care is not just a technical exercise. It is a human one. The most robust feasibility studies are built on genuine engagement with the people who will be affected by the project — staff, service users, carers, and commissioners.

Effective engagement requires more than a survey or a consultation event. It requires a commitment to listening, to acting on what you hear, and to being transparent about how the data will be used. When people feel genuinely heard, they are more likely to provide honest, useful information — and more likely to support the project if it goes ahead.
