An approach to formative research in health promotion is described whereby significant ‘components’ in the field are identified and involved as part of a circuit, to test and generate ideas. The underlying model is similar to corporate planning procedures whereby relevant ‘stakeholders’ are identified, and their need and interactions taken into account in generating the organization strategic plans for achieving its corporate goals. The process involves aspects of quantitative and qualitative research, the mix of which can vary according to the requirements of the situation. The use of the process for developing nutrition strategies for the ‘Health for All Committee’ in one State of Australia is described.

Key words: health promotion; strategy; nutrition
