"Weighty Questions ask for deliberate Answers"
Benjamin Franklin
What is Deliberative Engagement?
Deliberative Engagement puts participants at the heart of the research issue.
It brings together a representative cross-section of the desired population to deliberate on an issue. The process provides the time for participants to truly understand the issue at hand.
Through involving participants in workshops, forums or juries, participants are involved in the decision making process. They are given access to information, the opportunity to ask questions, seek clarification, learn about and deliberate over complex issues, make trade-offs and ultimately move towards a consensus.
This process enables you:
To engage your customers
To listen and interact with influencers
To deliberate with stakeholders
By involving individuals in the decision making process, it encourages buy-in and engenders support for conclusions. And ultimately it empowers the individuals involved.
