What is Fusion?
1 . The process.
This is four stages that include:
– Scouting Study – An initial investigation to provide options of what might be possible on any particular site.
– Feasibility – An in-depth appraisal to determine the solution.
– Enabling – Design and implementation planning resulting in final design and a delivery programme – putting everything in place to achieve what is deemed possible.
– Implementation – Completion and final evaluation of the solution.
2. A set of values and considerations that are to be considered and tested throughout the whole process. This is the central core of the Fusion process which runs from Scouting right through to Implementation, consistently testing everything against agreed values.
3. A strict data-led approach which means decisions are taken based on knowledge and data rather than hope and belief. Decisions are therefore always made on a fully informed basis.
