Community and stakeholder engagement gives community members and stakeholders (staff, volunteers, funders, partners, politicians, sponsors, donors, etc.) a voice at your planning table around program design, client needs, service gaps, competitive advantage, or strategic planning.  Using IAP2 Canada's Spectrum of Public Participation, HIP designs an engagement process that gathers stakeholders' viewpoints and perspectives to build a foundation for planning.  

Our community engagement services encompass:

  • Define the participant list for the community engagement process and outline the best approach to engaging participants.

  • Design appreciative inquiry-based questions to guide the stakeholder conversation in the desired direction and gather the information needed to inform the planning processes.

  • Facilitate stakeholder conversations to ensure that everyone's voice is heard (even the quiet, observant ones) and to delve deeper into emerging themes to provide clarity and understanding.

  • Manage conversations using a diversity, equity, and inclusion lens, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to contribute and share ideas.

  • Assess conversational outcomes to identify and communicate themes, clusters, trends, and highlight those conversation points that gained the most traction.

  • Compile a Community Engagement report that recommends next steps, highlights the most important outcomes, and provides a solid foundation for planning.
