Using a range of proven methods and innovative technologies, community forums are entrusted with the important task of identifying and mapping the skills, talents, networks, institutions, economic opportunities, financial resources, and physical and natural assets that already exist within a community. This process uncovers a wealth of potential, creating a valuable resource that can be harnessed to empower residents to address their own challenges and build a stronger, more resilient community. By recognising and utilising these existing strengths, we can foster collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth for the benefit of all.
