Stakeholder consultation and engagement is central to effective policy and program development. By listening, learning, and collaborating with stakeholders, we form good relationships and facilitate effective insights to inform successful program delivery and outcomes.
Stakeholder consultation and engagement facilitates the development of inclusive solutions that enable evidence-based decision-making.
What we offer
ISSR undertakes stakeholder consultation and engagement as a core operating principle in our work. Engaging with community representatives, industry organisations, and all levels of government, we provide contemporary and transparent approaches coupled with strong academic rigour to meet the unique needs of our partners.
- Stakeholder mapping: We work with partners to think broadly, creatively, and inclusively to identify and prioritise key stakeholder groups within project parameters.
- Stakeholder engagement: We create and deliver tailored tools and frameworks for stakeholder engagement and gather information in ways that are personalised and sensitive to the needs of different groups, including those whose voices are often not heard.
- Stakeholder consultation: We employ innovative activities to engage with policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders to gather input and perspectives, ensuring that our analyses are relevant and actionable.
- Evidence-based recommendations: We provide clear and actionable recommendations based on our analyses, supporting evidence-informed decision-making and policy development.
- Capability building: We can provide tailored and interactive face-to-face or online training to develop your skills and confidence to plan and undertake stakeholder consultation.
- Effective visualisation and translation of findings: We create visually engaging and interactive outputs to enhance reach, understanding, and utility.
