EVALUATIVE: ADAPT TO CHANGES
As you go through all five-steps with your stakeholders, you will be equipped with a comprehensive view of the progress in solving these challenges. In this step, you will review the implementation plans and other outgoing communication materials such as requests for proposals to ensure that the project outcomes remain ethical. This step serves as the final checkpoint for projects to maintain their alignment against community goals and stakeholder needs. Adapting to an iterative mindset is critical for Ethical Smart City transformation projects. With a strong feedback loop, lessons learned with every implementation can inform the understanding of what Ethical Smart City transformation means for your municipality from the first step. As more and more communities adopt the Ethical Smart City Framework, the underlying guiding principles would also evolve to accommodate for a more nuanced and innovative understanding of globally prioritized values, identified challenges and enabling technologies. The evaluative output in this step is supported by the ESC Report Card and Ecology of Innovation tools. Both of these tools can be used to assess the proposed plans and to track the overall progress.
