Abstract

The author presents a systematic way of looking at the situations of people with whom we program to enable us to more effectively identify their needs. Using values as the basis for the framework, because "...our values give meaning, perspective, and importance to the needs, new technical ideas, or actions we experience," Forest identifies seven value-type cateories and proceeds to demonstrate how they can be used as a guide for program situation analysis. Perhaps you'll find his matrix model and suggestions for ways of using it helpful to you.
