Toolbox

Tools

Consciously selecting, adapting, and applying tools helps:

• Elicit comments and ideas
• Keep the process on track
• Research and present sufficient, supportable data to decisionmakers and publics

This will enable a confident, balanced decision--one that can withstand the scrutiny of multiple publics and, if necessary, the courts.

Tips to Use the Toolbox

Go through the Worksheet to determine which tools are appropriate for your particular situation and track their use. To find a particular tool or to gather a list of tools, look at the Tool List. This lists tools in alphabetical order and shows which tools are most useful for which facet of the decision process.

Tool Time describes the role of tools in your decision process.

Tool Selection Worksheet explains how to choose tools and includes a simple worksheet to select tools and document their use.

Document the Process explains why you need to document the tool you use and the results.

Expand this List invites you to find your own tools and adapt tools to your needs.
