We cannot improve what we do know. Therefore, we begin by establishing a baseline for your community by completing a series of questions, based on themes in sustainability.
Establishing a Baseline
The Blue Community Assessment app is a paperless process inside an easy to edit cloud-based virtual sustainability assessment ecosystem for destination communities. It allows the work of data collection, entry and update to be distributed across a team. All destinations are assigned a team color. When assessors log in, the system already knows that team they belong to and which criteria they are permitted to edit/update/access. Once all 135 questions have been given an initial answer, 100% of baseline will be complete. From that moment forward, everything is measured and tracked based on updates provided to the assessment over time, activating "Historical Data Modules" (more on this later).
