2.5(b): Identify a Priority for the Campaign

A Spider Diagram can then be used to help visualize the priority actions that will contribute to the desired outcome. You can use the diagram multiple times to monitor and evaluate changes over time.
This exercise is best performed as part of the community consultation.
Plot the ranking of each action on the diagram and then draw a line between the points to form an outline of a web.
The action with the highest priority should be the focus for your first campaign.
2.5(c) Establish a Campaign Goal
The next step is to establish a goal for the campaign. As mentioned in Part D of the Case Study, a well-defined goal contains three important details:
- it sets a specific objective;
- for a specific action;
- with a clearly defined community of practice;
We can use the results of the Opportunity Tree exercise and Spider Diagram to help write the campaign goal:
The goal of the campaign is to
[objective from the Opportunity Tree]
by using ICT to
[priority action from the Spider Diagram]
for
[your community of practice].
