Stakeholder engagement
Behind every successful infrastructure project is an effective stakeholder engagement strategy. This can begin as early as during the design and even concept phase.
When stakeholders’ voices are heard, their concerns and expectations can be addressed and managed effectively. This creates a sense of ownership and buy-in from stakeholders, increasing their commitment to the project’s success. Moreover, engaging stakeholders fosters better communication, transparency, and trust, which contributes to building a collaborative and positive working environment.
The collective experience of our stakeholder engagement team is unparalleled. Combining local knowledge with global best practice, our consultants work to solve the critical stakeholder engagement challenges inherent in large and often complex infrastructure projects.
Effective consultation with stakeholders before, during and after implementing infrastructure projects is key to project success. Without it, we too often see the important projects derailed due to a lack of proper consultation.
Working with our Zutari teams in the planning, design and construction phases of projects provides clients with the assurance that they implement infrastructure that fits the needs of end-users and address the concerns of stakeholders.
Our engagement methodology has been developed and tested across public – and private -sector projects. We work explicitly to achieve the following outcomes:
- Build and support communities: We identify and present community concerns and work closely with you to find solutions that break down engagement barriers.
- Secure your license to operate: Our multi-pronged approach is aimed at securing your ongoing stakeholder support.
- Identify barriers to progress: Through our engagement process, we identify risks and resolution strategies to minimise delays and keep projects running on time and within budget.
Our capabilities deliver innovative, collaborative consultation that proactively engages communities and stakeholders in the decision-making process.
