Inclusive Outreach & Engagement

We have taught it and written about it. We understand how important it is to guide an engagement or facilitation process while letting the participants lead, and we value partnering with organizations and community members to ensure long-term engagement and always welcome the involvement of local groups.

As skilled facilitators, listeners and communicators, we have expertise in consensus building on contentious issues, facilitating groups with strong opinions and different interests, and translating complex technical information into language and visuals everyone can understand. We have facilitated hundreds of meetings, large and small—from educational sessions to dispute resolution meetings that bring together stakeholders and build consensus. We have a large and growing toolkit of engagement methods, from real-time graphic recording of meetings on large sheets of butcher paper to webinars, online mapping and feedback tools, and interactive online open houses and surveys that are available 24/7 in multiple languages.
