“The online integration was done really well. Kim is an engaging speaker and it was easy to pay attention. The breakout rooms were awesome - it was great that the time in them wasn’t too long so people were eager to participate.”
“I am really impressed with the material, and I have heard from many participants that they enjoyed the sessions… one person said it was the best facilitated experience they have been apart of! I have also received [emails] from VPs saying the tone and message was excellent. ”
Facilitate Conversations
We resolve conflict and find new ways of working together. Over the past ten years we have facilitated countless World Cafes, Talking Circles, and Deliberative Processes. These engagement activities bring communities together to share concerns, understand varying perspectives, and align on key decisions. The results have saved our clients untold amounts of man-hours and money by creating alignment and removing obstacles to progress.
Tools for Organizations
Consistent best practices for engagement mark the difference between projects that move forward and projects that stagnate. Dialogue Partners can help your organization build custom engagement policies, toolkits, frameworks, and procedures. Our experts create solutions robust enough to stand the test of time, and flexible enough to respond to changing needs of the future.
Build Processes for Engagement
We work hand-in-hand with you to architect end-to-end public engagement processes that work for your organization and its stakeholders. Our values-based approach unpacks what is most important and supports finding common ground-- whether budgets, land use, environment, healthcare, energy, education or anything else. We set the stage for real, honest conversations.
“ Thanks for your perseverance with spending the hours in discussion needed to figure out how to move the work forward, in helping us appreciate and understand the perspectives of those outside our immediate planning circles and in keeping us honest with what we were asking of the group. What you brought to the team and the process, is invaluable”
“[My] managing director... was very happy with the input we managed to obtain from the stakeholders. I do not think he could have been happier. Kim was excellent and having her there allowed me and my team to focus our attention on the stakeholder input [rather] than on the process... We received very strong feedback from the stakeholders on the quality of the session. I thank you for the work of your firm.”
“I have been receiving nothing but positive comments from the workshop... The feedback has not only been about the content – and the fact the participants felt their opinions really mattered – but that [Dialogue Partners] led the workshop so well. [Even] people who attend workshops and meetings all the time said... ‘It was one of the best I’ve ever attended’... As the project lead [I] am pleased with everything!”
