Effective strategies, policies and advocacy campaigns are built on a deep understanding of the people they affect.

Our team of experts have extensive experience in stakeholder engagement, community consultation, and facilitating dialogues, helping organisations engage stakeholders in ways that build trust and create a stronger foundation for decision-making.  We are also informed and working towards qualification with the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2).

Whether you are looking to understand perceptions across external and internal stakeholders, inform strategic plans, or discover a way forward for communications and advocacy, we can design and facilitate engagement processes that generate meaningful insights and practical outcomes.

We can help with:

  • Identifying which stakeholders should attend knowledge gathering sessions
  • Consultation with state and federal government politicians and departments
  • Creating a safe space for your internal staff and Board to share insights and perspectives
  • Developing a research phase to support your strategic plan or blueprint project
  • Engaging with community groups and representatives to clarify their perceptions and preferences around their relationship with your organisation

Sessions can be (but not limited to):

  • Dialogues between a range of stakeholders to discuss issues relevant to your organisation, project or initiative
  • Staff sessions which can gather knowledge, or clarify perceptions around organisation’s advocacy and communication direction
  • Roundtables to identify opportunities and solutions, involving both internal and external stakeholders
  • Interactive activities designed to gather different perspectives
  • Large community consultation connections, incorporating organisation presentations, question and answer sessions.

In addition, as a virtual agency, we are well placed to deliver in-person sessions online across different regions and time zones. This flexibility allows us to bring together diverse stakeholders while keeping engagement accessible and cost-effective.
