Engaging with Communities

Traditional research methods can illuminate how your communities think, feel and behave, given what they already know and understand. Greater insight can be achieved by engaging communities in a dialogue, by sharing your issues and challenges.

New engagement techniques, such as deliberative and collaborative events, can take you further by:

• Informing people about the issues you face.
• Enabling them to contribute to key decisions.
• Collaborating and creating solutions together. 
• Involving customers in service re-design.
• Involving audiences in communications or campaign development.
• Bringing different communities together to achieve consensus.
