Join us and Katie Allen Consulting for our upcoming webinar: The Cost of Good Intentions
As public consultation and engagement professionals, it is crucial to understand the nuances and challenges surrounding equality, diversity, and inclusion. It isn’t only a moral imperative, but essential for achieving better, more inclusive, and effective outcomes for teams, communities, and citizens alike.
Diverse perspectives lead to richer discussions and more creative solutions. Inclusive and equitable engagement and consultation builds trust; people are more likely to participate and support initiatives when they feel their views are valued and considered.
Join us with Katie Allen on Wednesday 22nd May as we explore the Cost of Good Intentions, discussing:
- The importance of engagement as well as good process
- The difference between intentions and impacts
- How to challenge our frames of reference, and promote psychological safety
