Public Involvement
Guidelines for Working Together
- Participate Fully, which means:
- A few people will not dominate
- Quiet people will be encouraged to participate
- The interactions have been designed so that all will have a chance to speak
- Be honest and say what is on your mind
- Be bold and participate because we need each other’s input
- Listen to and respect each other’s ideas without judgment or interruption
- No side conversations while others are talking
- Say in the room what you say in the hall
- Confidentiality and anonymity remain at the table, both during and after our meetings
- We are dealing only with what we can influence
- We will be on time when arriving for each meeting and after breaks
- If something is not clear, ask questions
- If you have suggestions to improve the process, talk to the facilitator
- Use everything for personal learning and development. Use all of your feelings, thoughts, insights and ideas to experience growth and learning about the process
- Have fun!!
Stakeholder Checklist
Successful collaboration must be broadly inclusive of all stakeholders who are affected by or care about the issue. Diversity and inclusion should be not only tolerated but sought. Stakeholders are those people and organizations who, if they were to reach agreement, could act together to achieve real results.
What are the perspectives necessary to credibly and effectively define the issues and create solutions? Who are the people and organizations that speak for these perspectives?
What are the interests that must be represented on order to reach agreements that can be implemented and who can speak for these interests?
Who are the people, groups and organizations who are necessary to implement solutions, can block action and control resources?
Who are the people who cause or are affected by the issues, and who will be affected by the solutions?
Who are the people who, if they could reach agreement about problems and solutions, could generate the political and institutional will to create significant change?
