Stakeholder Engagement
Facilitating collaboration and inclusion for stronger relationships, better decision-making, and superior outcomes.
Public and education sector initiatives often involve diverse stakeholder groups with varying needs, priorities, and levels of influence. D & G specialises in designing and delivering bespoke stakeholder engagement strategies and practices that promote inclusion, trust, and constructive dialogue. We ensure that all stakeholder groups are identified and all voices are heard to generate valuable insights while maintaining efficiency. We gather all the necessary information so clients receive stakeholder feedback in a concise, focused report.
By gathering feedback from all stakeholders and synthesising it into clear insights and actionable recommendations, we help organisations make informed decisions that ensure better outcomes as more thoughts and perspectives are incorporated. Also, by feeling heard and valued, stakeholders become more involved in processes and more accepting of outcomes – even if they differ from their personal opinions – resulting in more successful implementation processes and stronger relationships.
We have facilitated thorough stakeholder engagement processes on varying scales, from small focus groups to large engagement processes that capture thousands of pieces of data. We utilise multiple forms of engagement where appropriate, considering the varying needs of stakeholder groups and cultural preferences. Our expertise in data allows us to analyse feedback and explain findings in clear ways.
