Pre-studies
Here you can read about how to apply for a feasibility study
What is the problem?
A feasibility study can often be a good tool to identify the root cause of what you want to change or develop.
On Effektfullt.se you can find inspiration and tools.
Pre-studies
For feasibility study projects, we have adapted UK (selection criteria). Minimum score level for feasibility studies (at least) 300 points.
The application is made in the same way as an implementation project.
In order for decision-makers to justify the scoring, one must be able to read a description or explanation in your project plan.
Specific selection criteria
Pre-studies
The feasibility study examines needs/wishes and current situation
The feasibility study investigates why a project is needed, i.e., what the problem is. The feasibility study examines background and current situation.
It can be, for example, mapping, market research, interviews, driving processes, study visits, needs analysis, demand analysis, etc., to understand needs and current situation.
The feasibility study answers ”Why do we want to do something? That is, what is the need/problem?”
One step. Max 150 points
Step 1:
The application describes the purpose of the feasibility study and how the mapping of needs and current situation analysis will be conducted.
The feasibility study investigates possible goals, effects, and scenarios
The feasibility study will investigate possible and relevant goals, i.e., analyze the benefits of an implementation as well as arrive at desired goals and expected results of an implementation project.
The feasibility study presents a solution proposal, but a result of a feasibility study can also be a decision not to implement a project if the goal investigation indicates so.
The feasibility study answers ”What do we want to achieve?”
One step. Max 150 points
Step 1:
The application describes how the feasibility study will work to identify which goals and effects an implementation project should achieve.
The feasibility study provides consensus
The feasibility study aims to, for example, collaborate, anchor, build networks, drive processes, map competence needs and competencies, or map stakeholders and participants.
The result of the feasibility study can also be a decision not to implement a project if consensus is not reached.
The feasibility study answers ”Who wants to participate?”
Two steps. 50 points per step. Max 100
Step 1:
The application describes how the feasibility study will build a project group, find partners, and identify the target group.
Step 2:
The application also describes how the feasibility study will achieve consensus and anchor the project idea with involved actors and individuals.
The feasibility study leads to new knowledge
The application describes what new knowledge is expected to be generated and how it will be achieved.
One step. Max 150 points
Step 1:
The application describes what new knowledge is expected to be generated and how it will be achieved.
The feasibility study creates a financing plan
The application shows that a financing plan will be developed in the feasibility study where it is clearly stated how funds will be raised for an implementation project.
One step. Max 150 points
Step 1:
The application shows that a financing plan will be developed in the feasibility study where it is clearly stated how funds will be raised for an implementation project.
The feasibility study structures the content of an implementation.
The feasibility study structures the content of an implementation, i.e., investigates and describes, among other things, the scope, goals, needs/demand, potential participants, possible implementation plan, financial planning, expected effects of an implementation.
The feasibility study comes to a conclusion regarding feasibility and reasonableness in a implementation project considering the conditions for a project, scope, and intended results.
Activities can include, among other things, finding out circumstances, planning future operations, investigating feasibility, examining conditions, scope, and finances.
The feasibility study answers ”What should we do? How should we do it? When?”
Two steps. 150 points per step. Max 300
Step 1:
The application shows that the feasibility study should result in a project plan for an implementation project alternatively a ”closure report” with the feasibility study's results and an explanation of why one chooses not to implement a project after the feasibility study.
Step 2:
The application also shows that the feasibility study should deliver a financial plan, operational plan, and a plan for collaboration with several actors.
