Do not be too alarmed if some of the spaces are at this point. Eventually it will become necessary to complete all the items. Because the project you are working on is already existent, your Team can begin working on columns 6, 7, and 8 simultaneously, if you so choose. The values in Column #10 always remain the same. They provide the final, unwavering criteria for challenging the social sustainability of every element of the project you are working on. In many ways, your work will be very similar to a post-mortem examination on existing policies or legislation; or, trying to examine a legislative bill or policy before it is taken out of committee and submitted to a vote. If you are a Progressive legislative consultant, you will then propose ways to amend the faulted bill or policy. In Column #8, you will want to identify the beliefs that brought the expectations in Column #7, and the criteria of fulfillment in Column #6. Having identified these elements in each column, now it is time to use the 3 primary core values, and then the secondary Value-Emotions to challenge each element as contributing to social sustainability or not. Sometimes you will come to a “Huh?” situation when you start discovering the beliefs that brought about this policy. When that happens, it is usually due to some unexposed assumption that was made as the policy or legislation was being written. Yes, this process is tedious, but it will provide lock-tight policies that will stand the test of examination by anyone in any nation, any time in the future.
