Assessing Viability
Viability Crash Course Presentation
Martha Dallyn and Belinda Greenwell drew together a suite of resources to understand and assess viability through their year-long placements at the London Boroughs of Enfield and Sutton (April 2019 - 2020). These are intended as support for Authority officers, and others, to engage with the complexities and terminologies of viability assessment.
This presentation covers: The importance of viability; What makes a project viable?; Calculating viability; The problems with viability; and Maximising profit: a worked example.
