Public engagement tip.

Do the hard work of understanding the various stakeholders you need to reach, group your stakeholders where possible, and adapt your approach with each group.

We live in a wonderfully diverse and multicultural society. If it is important to you and your client to hear voices from many people, you will have to adapt your engagement processes. You may need to change the language in how you communicate and ask, you may need to change how you communicate and ask, and you may need to change the way you report back to various groups. However, the key is that you collect feedback and input that contributes to helping with the same set of decisions. It would be best if you were flexible in your approaches but stay true to delivering data to your client to help them make the decisions they need to make.

We would love to talk with you about your public engagement, marketing communications,
