Understanding issues that are relevant to stakeholders and communities is the foundation of stakeholder engagement.
At GHD, we appreciate the requirements of stakeholders and work together with our clients towards best outcomes for projects and communities.
Increasingly, organizations recognize that the development and maintenance of positive and interactive relationships within communities is an essential element of decision-making. We work closely with clients to identify key stakeholders, research their drivers, identify risks and opportunities, formulate strategies and prepare communications. We help our clients engage these stakeholders and the broader community to derive positive, holistic outcomes.
By working with us, our clients reach practical and sustainable outcomes through social assessment and dynamic community engagement. Through our engagement process, key stakeholders and the community understand what's behind the action, and this translates directly to project success.
Our corporate membership of the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) and adherence to their code of ethics means clients can be confident that we are delivering industry-leading solutions, every time.
Clients can expect our diverse team of professionals to deliver effective engagement and assessment services that achieve improved outcomes throughout the project life cycle. Success often depends on the way in which a project's stakeholders are engaged. We work with our clients to develop a targeted approach to engagement, drawing on five key elements of public participation: information, consultation, involvement, collaboration and empowerment.
By identifying value, opportunity, issues and risk, we help our clients to build socially cohesive and sustainable communities.
