    AP 03 Force Field Analysis

    Widayanti Ishak
    This document provides an overview of force-field analysis (FFA), a tool for identifying priority action areas. The FFA process involves setting an objective and identifying driving and restraining forces. Key forces are filtered and plotted on a diagram. Actions are then developed and strategies tested to influence driving forces and reduce restraining forces. The document outlines the FFA process and provides examples of applying it to the objective of completing retaining walls in a slum by 2006, including listing relevant forces and filtering them. It concludes that FFA helps develop practical actions and streamlines objectives within an action plan's timeframe.

    Action Planning: Force-Field Analysis (FFA)

    Force field analysis: process


    Set objectives

    Force field analysis


    identify forces select forces feasible to influence develop potential actions develop and test strategies develop tasks and timing

    brainstorm

    ffa.ppt. 4/11/2013 Prepared by: Forbes Davidson Modified Saskia Ruijsink and Alonso Ayala

    Instructions
    Follow the assignments described on p.35 For the Force Field Analysis we limit ourselves to Instructions 1 and 2 on p.35

    ffa.ppt. 4/11/2013 Prepared by: Forbes Davidson Modified Saskia Ruijsink and Alonso Ayala

    Instructions

    List restraining and driving forces Use form one (p 36 -37), Write your objective and as many restraining forces (anything which is likely to get in the way of achieving the objective) and driving forces (that help achieving it). Give a short description If you prefer, forces can be grouped, e.g.:
    institutions (eg government) skills/ attitudes/ procedures site problems finance
    ffa.ppt. 4/11/2013 Prepared by: Forbes Davidson Modified Saskia Ruijsink and Alonso Ayala 5

    Form for driving forces


    Objective: Driving Force
    Short description Influence Time Resources Commitment

    ffa.ppt. 4/11/2013 Prepared by: Forbes Davidson Modified Saskia Ruijsink and Alonso Ayala

    Form for restraining forces


    Objective: Restraining Force
    Short description Influence Time Resources Commitment

    ffa.ppt. 4/11/2013 Prepared by: Forbes Davidson Modified Saskia Ruijsink and Alonso Ayala

    Instructions

    Test against criteria Once you have written the forces, check to see if they are feasible to influence. Write Yes or No in the boxes on the right.
    Possible to influence? Is it realistic that we can influence this force/ do something to change? Can influence in time? Is it possible to have a significant influence within the time you have set in the objectives. Are resources available to influence? Is it realistic that we can get together the resources which are necessary to influence this force? Is there enough commitment? Do you feel strongly enough about influencing this force? Is it likely that the support of others (politics, population) will back you?

    Any ideas you get for action can be noted down separately - dont come out with solutions yet!

    Force field analysis: filtering to key forces


    Filter most important key forces What are the strongest forces? What forces can be influenced? Draw the Forces in the Force Field diagram (p. 39) Rule of thumb: filter down to seven forces

    2 driving forces 5 constraining forces

    Conclusions and next steps


    FFA is a tool to help develop practical and innovative courses of action FFA can help you to streamline your objective within the time frame of the action plan The following steps will be to brainstorm and then test and prioritize the ideas in order to develop an action plan
