Understanding the community engagement mind-set

One of the questions we are often asked is why is having the right mind-set so important?

The simple answer to this question (which we’ll cover in more detail in our upcoming Mind-Set Webinar) is that if public participation is not valued, then no matter how good strategies and plans are, they are much less likely to deliver positive results.

We are developing the webinar’s content and would welcome your thoughts on what you would like to learn on this important topic.

Please add your comments below.

Some communities, sectors or groups seem to have a fixed view of local government motives for enagement. How can we challenge this to step up our engagement? Is raising their expectations on engaging with councils something we meet, or hope to exceed?
