When we speak about engagement, it is important to note that there are varying levels of engagement and that each level generates different responses from those who are being engaged.

The Double Diamond Process

Co-Defining the Dilemma

When designing engagement efforts considerable thought is given to who needs to participate and how to design a process that is accessible. Similar forethought should be given to considering the best way to frame the question we are seeking input on. This tool considers the perspectives of various stakeholders to develop a meaningful question that encourages creativity and the generation of win-win solutions.

Sensemaking through Data Walks

A data walk is a powerful process for engaging diverse stakeholders in a shared sense-making process around data. Created by The Urban Institute, Data Walks are an interactive way of sharing data and research with stakeholders.

Prioritization Tools

Consensus Decision Making

Consensus decision making is a creative and dynamic way of reaching agreement between all members of a collaborative group. Instead of simply voting for an item and having most of the group getting their way, a group using consensus is committed to finding solutions that everyone actively supports, or at least can live with. Learn how to effectively build an approach to consensus decision making.

Powerful Questions

Asking questions which evoke deep commitment and engagement is challenging. We don’t take the time to consider the art of developing agendas and asking questions that are powerful, build connection and evoke deep commitment. Learn how to ask better questions in this session.

The Change Journey

Design for Change – The Six Lenses Strategy
