Introduction to Practical Community Engagement for Projects.

Course details

Community Engagement is the people strategy for your projects. These days, it is just as important as your technical and operational plans. But...how do you involve different types of stakeholders? And...is a one size fits all approach ok? 

In this course, we will explore practical ways to involve stakeholders in your projects, by looking at a model known as the Engagement Spectrum. We will explore how to read the spectrum as a whole and each of the five levels of engagement possible with community and all types of stakeholders.

After taking this course you will be able to explain the different levels of engagement and how they can be applied to a project. You will also be able to recognise the language of engagement so you can successfully use it in meetings and to clarify why different approaches are applied to your project.

As part of this course you'll have the opportunity to record the current state of engagement in the policies or strategic documentation of your organisation or project and all the  tools you use.

More and more it is the people who can demonstrate people and relationships building skills who are advancing in their organisations and careers. Let's make sure that it's you!
