What is stakeholder engagement and consultation?
Whatever you’re working on, it’s likely your project will impact a number of key stakeholders. From local residents to business owners, and other commuters in the area, having the community’s best interests and ideas in mind is key to any project’s sustained success.
Through interviews, surveys, public exhibitions, participatory workshops, community meetings, and other methods, you can come to truly understand what audiences need and want, allay their concerns, and build buy-in for your project.
Why do I need to do it?
Undertaking stakeholder engagement activities and consultations can:
1.
Ensure that a diverse and representative sample of the stakeholder population can contribute their views and help shape decision-making.
2.
Build a sense of involvement among stakeholders, generating buy-in for your project.
3.
Develop productive, mutually beneficial working relationships to take your project forward.
4.
Help to identify and monitor key trends, while tracking people’s expectations, perceptions and attitudes as the project progresses.
5.
Demonstrate a desire to engage with stakeholders, encouraging open communication and transparency.
6.
Let stakeholders get to know you and your brand values, building trust.
