Compromise
Every project has it’s challenges and must be sensitive to the needs of the community and general public, government agencies, businesses and other stakeholders. We help prepare a thorough analysis of issues, identifying risks and opportunities and avenues of compromise that allow projects to move forward.
Management
Effective management of the engagement process is necessary to control cost and measure success. We bring years of managerial and technical expertise to assure that each of our projects is effectively managed. Early and systematic identification of stakeholders, regular analysis of the issues and concerns critical to success, continuous planning and implementation of activities to engage stakeholders and deliver your message must be carefully controlled and analyzed to determine if they are on target and to maintain their effectiveness. Risk analysis, project scoping and value analysis of the stakeholder engagement process as well as the project helps assure that risks are identified and properly managed, that participants clearly understand their role in the engagement effort and that the approaches being taken are the most effective.
