2.4: Practicalities of Stakeholder Engagement: Facilitation Methods, Tools and Practicalities for Stakeholder Engagement (WEL)

Practicalities of Stakeholder Engagement

What are the practical considerations that we should take note of when designing and implementing a stakeholder engagement process? In this topic we will discuss considerations such as the role of the facilitator, knowing your participants, responding to group dynamics, the set-up of the room, building trust, enabling full participation, designing suitable activities, managing energy levels and closing the process.
