The Seven Ss are what CSCPL terms the seven elements for risk management when following the Walk Together Design. Each element can be used to review the overall project or program when issues arise. Alternatively, each elements is a means of helping decide which future actions should be followed. Each needs little explanation but feel free to contact us if you would like more information.

The Seven Ss are:

1. Small: Start small and grow. Don’t try too much, too soon or too quickly
2. Strengths: Work with interested, committed people and things the community says it does well
3. Success: Start with things that have the greatest potential for success
4. Speed: Work at a pace that keeps everyone involved
5. Sustainable: Have resources and commitment before you start
6. Simultaneous: Work with all people all the time
7. Scrutinize: Monitor and review from the outset
