This decision making cycle outlines different stages of the engagement process that combine gathering knowledge and creating action. The decision making cycle also describes which community engagement tools can be used to assist each stage, and how to move the process forward through to action. This is a useful framework because it helps people match community engagement tools with the right stage of decision-making.
