We believe that engagement is more than just a ‘tick in the box’ exercise but rather a fundamental part of quality, primary research, organisational capability building and to provide a space for community to be informed + active participants in their local places. 

Our team are industry leaders and offer a unique  combination of engagement and facilitation skills, empathy to build trust, and the policy knowledge to ask the right questions and translate this information into policy outcomes. Working with expert stakeholders, staff across your organisation, executives, communities and elected officials, the process of engagement invites clients, organisations and a variety of communities to be an active participant in their local places. 

We have extensive experience in designing and delivering effective engagement programs to support complex projects for state and local governments, working with their communities and stakeholders. These effective, interactive, and meaningful  programs have resulted in robust qualitative data and supported significant legislative change, leading research projects, policy reviews, and local planning. We also have strong relationships with universities to provide the required engagement support and offer practical experience for the next generation of planners, designers + social scientists to build their skills and capabilities.
