360 degree Expertise

Additional benefits you get when you bring G&A on board as your professional public participation practitioners that may be of interest are:

• Our facilitation expertise can be brought into internal and external working groups to ensure the process operates efficiently, fairly and effectively for the parties at the table.

• Among our range of participatory tools and techniques to carry out effective engagement processes, we have survey capability which may be used in conjunction with other engagement activities to test the validity and viability of ideas, concepts, plans at varying stages in the process.

• We have a long history of communications and media relations experience which may also be useful for your process (newsletters, web updates, advertising, news releases/ backgrounders, household drops, etc.)

• A good history is being built over the past couple of years by G&A on how groups can benefit from working together using  on-line collaborative sites and we can give you some good advice on how this tool can be appropriately introduced to your stakeholders and used with success.

• We use mind-mapping software to record information, data and input for transparency and accuracy and speed of capture, so there is no transcribing notes later. People can watch their ideas and input projected in real-time, and once the session(s) is over, instantaneous reports, such as gannt charts and powerpoints can be generated without manipulation of the data
