IDEAL™ Blueprints
HsG Intentional Delivery of Excellence through Assessment and Learning (IDEAL) Blueprints provide regions, cities, communities, neighborhoods, churches, and associations with a path to improve their economic circumstances. IDEAL™ Blueprints result from a collaborative community planning and education process.
CITIWorks Participants
Participants would include stakeholders from businesses, community groups, churches, social service organizations, government agencies, nonprofit agencies, and education organizations. Through HsG expert facilitation they would create a plan of action to design or redesign their practices and processes that influence their economic circumstances.

- Individuals from disparate groups collaborate at the same time or asynchronously
- Collaboration software allow for multiple conversations simultaneously
- Contributions posted for all to see and comment on
- Anonymous input is encourages candor (no attribution, no retribution)
- Conversation through data entry ensures verbatim documentation
- Verbatim conversation produced for participant review within 48 hours
- Affinity exercises and prioritization foster efficient decision making
