Town Deal Board: Stakeholder engagement activity deck
Over the course of the Place Leadership Programme we have shared a number of resources and activities to help towns thinking about engaging local stakeholders in their work.
The TFDP have created a wide range of resources on Communications & Engagement available on the TFDP website.
This activity deck brings together a selection of practical activities for Town Deal Board Chairs and members. You may wish to revisit them at important moments in your project, or to use as you move onto the next thing as a town:
Mapping your stakeholders: this activity is about getting to grips with who is important to your project and establishing what you know/or assume about them.
Matching stakeholders with engagement methods: this activity is about recognising the different styles of engagement that are appropriate to your different audiences, and planning activities to do so.
Creating a long-term engagement plan: this activity is about focusing not just on the here and now, but who you want to be engaged over the longer term and why.
