+ Consultation guides and technical documentation

The backbone of all consultation is how the proposals are presented to the public and stakeholders. This includes the guide to consultation and any additional technical documents that provide more detailed information. It’s essential that clear, relevant information is supplied, enabling the public to adequately respond to your proposals. Our group of professionals have ample experience in leading, compiling, and delivering this specialist material.

+ Digital consultation

Virtual engagement is now at optimal levels of ease, comfort, and usability. Our team of specialists can facilitate the successful delivery of state-of-the-art digital tools to consult with the public. With the use of online exhibition platforms and webinars, you can engage the public and stakeholders in a digital environment designed to emulate the event experience. Online, all of your consultation material can be made available at the touch of a button. This activity can be seamlessly integrated with online response-form technology to make the public’s user- interface simple, clear, and efficient.

+ Hybrid consultation

You may find yourself having to connect with groups where physical engagement is more apt. In such an instance, we’d recommend a hybrid approach; a blend of both digital and physical engagement for those who do not or cannot use your digital channels. We boast experience in delivering a collaboration of digital and physical consultation engagement to ensure our clients effectively reach their target audience.

+ Traditional public exhibitions and events

The physical world has not vanished and there will always be a need for traditional engagement. As restrictions continue to change, our clients will be expected to keep reaching out to the public using traditional methods. We can support in the planning and delivery of all types of public exhibitions, events, and activities.

+ Communications

We can support in the delivery of physical engagement and the production of print material, from exhibition boards to leaflet drops and other collateral that meet your needs. We can also provide materials for internal communications during the lifecycle of the consultation. Senior management, your wider organisation, and trusted stakeholders will desire activity updates; this is where presentations, infographics, and dashboards become essential tools to communicate to these interested parties.

+ Response consideration, reporting, and evaluation

The consideration of responses to consultation can determine your overall success in this space. Our experts can identify, evaluate, and report on issues raised during consultation. We can also lead on the drafting and finalisation of the consultation report, which documents how consultation was delivered, who responded, and the consideration of the issues raised. Once all is completed, you will need to evaluate the consultation activity. We can provide a debrief session along with an objective assessment of how the consultation has performed.
