9. Evaluate solutions against the objectives & criteria If the solution meets the criteria then 3 points are allocated and 1 point allocated if not. The overall total is the multiple of the scores Optimise- GB Solutions Objective 1 Objective 2 Objective 3 Total Solution 1 3 1 1 3 Solution 2 1 1 3 3 Solution 3 3 3 1 9

10. Implementation: Once all the solutions have been identified evaluated move into action Optimise- GB

11. Implementation STEP 1 - Use the star approach to solutions Solution 1 Who? What? When? Where? How? Why? Optimise- GB

12. Implementation Solution 1 Have you put a TIME frame to the solution Has the solution AGREED with people involved? Is the solution REALISTIC in its implementation Is the solution SPECIFIC? Can the solution be MEASURED? Optimise- GB
