Shaping participation, creating acceptance

For major tasks and projects, it has often become essential to involve stakeholders and allow them to actively participate. The aim is to create acceptance and trust and to enable mutual understanding through transparency and communication at eye level, even in complex subject areas. To achieve this, it is important to create suitable opportunities for dialog and participation, provide understandable information and make the process visible and transparent.

In order to be able to successfully implement projects in hotly debated areas, such as the development of the German electricity grid, a great deal of sensitivity is required when planning and supporting a participation process. After a thorough analysis phase that not only considers but also involves all stakeholders, we see our main tasks as translating, explaining and moderating the sometimes controversial interests. We ensure process transparency and put the project into context so that all parties keep focused on the big picture. We convey a committed overall picture of our client and use all our experience, diligence and expertise to help the project run smoothly.
