Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration

Stakeholders in meeting

Expert Stakeholder Facilitation

We design and facilitate high-impact stakeholder engagement and collaboration sessions that bring people together to build shared solutions, fast.

Whether you’re developing a strategy, shaping a joint initiative or tackling a complex challenge, we help diverse groups find common ground and move forward with clarity and purpose.

Our sessions are practical, focused, and designed to generate real outcomes—not just discussion. We specialise in working across boundaries, enabling collaboration between organisations that think and operate differently.

Who We Work With

  • Public sector teams building shared strategies across departments or partners
  • Industry bodies engaging members or external stakeholders
  • Innovation partnerships spanning business, academia and community groups
  • Non-profit or community-led programmes shaping joint priorities
  • Mixed-sector collaborations with a clear need for alignment and joined-up thinking

What We Deliver

  • Interactive sessions that connect people with different agendas, roles and perspectives
  • Clear outcomes, agreements or next steps by the end of each session
  • Tools and frameworks that help participants collaborate in real time
  • A focused, inclusive process where all voices are heard and respected
  • Space for constructive challenge, fresh thinking and creative problem-solving
  • A strong sense of shared ownership and momentum

Typical Engagement Scenarios

  • Creation of a shared vision across different stakeholder groups
  • Strategy development with multiple partners
  • Cross-sector working groups forming or resetting
  • Place-based collaboration around regeneration, innovation, environment or climate
  • Community and stakeholder co-creation sessions
  • Sector-wide convening to develop a unified position or approach

Why It Works

  • We bring people together quickly—no matter their background or organisational culture
  • Our facilitators are neutral, experienced and trusted
  • We use proven tools to manage complexity, surface insight and create alignment
  • Sessions are designed for energy, engagement and practical results
  • Everyone leaves knowing what’s been agreed and what happens next
