Consultation
Effective consultation is essential to effective project delivery.
We can help you to develop consultation that will:
- Engage people in creative and exciting ways.
- Ensure that the diverse voices of different communities, groups and individuals are heard.
- Develop effective working relationships and understanding between people.
- Help develop people’s sense of ownership of the project.
- Face up to and deal with difficult issues and potential conflicts.
- Establish common purpose and shared vision.
Consultation methods will vary depending on the project, the political and social context and the people and organisations involved. This may include:
- Large scale ‘open space’ events.
- Real life planning and modelling, and other types of hands on participative events.
- Workshops.
- Focus groups.
- Individual interviews and conversations.
We seek to make events exciting, playful, creative and fun, with purpose and focus.
All of our consultation events and activities are underpinned by the principles of developing learning-space —recognising the diversity of participants, and seeking to create the appropriate environments for creative and co-operative participation.
