CSF 7-Step Methodology for Program Improvement

CSF utilizes a structured methodology to guide human services program evaluation and improvement projects. 

Our 7-Step Methodology for Program Improvement is a collaborative, iterative process that ensures the input of key project staff and other stakeholders at critical stages of the project. The CSF 7-Step Methodology for Program Improvement moves through the following steps: 

1. ENGAGE participants in cooperative effort

2. SURVEY current policy and operations

3. ANALYZE data collected

4. ENVISION solution design

5. SYNTHESIZE analysis and design

6. ACTIVATE solution recommendations

7. EMPOWER client to integrate methodology with ongoing policy development and operations
