Multi-Stakeholder Projects

What you need.

How can different interest groups work together to develop sustainable solutions?

Multi-stakeholder projects enable various actors – from administrations to companies to citizens – to work together and address common challenges. A focus on dialogue is crucial for developing long-term and sustainable solutions in many areas, such as (association) politics, energy, infrastructure, public management or urban development.

What we offer.

With a clear definition of objectives and transparent communication: We support you in your multi-stakeholder project.

By specifically involving relevant actors, we make your decision-making process more efficient, promote acceptance in society and organisations, and strengthen the innovative power of your projects. We provide strategic communication consulting for complex stakeholder processes and public participation in approval procedures. We also draw on our expertise to identify the opportunities and challenges of your project, for example in structural change, the development of your organisation or region, in digitalisation, transport or energy system transformation.

In focus: Participation, planning & dialogue

Multi-stakeholder projects: a selection of our services

Project and process management

We help you develop and implement dialogue-oriented projects involving and addressing various stakeholders. We design results-oriented processes that focus on your goals and target groups. To do this, we develop the process in a co-creative way.

Planning and moderating events

Our moderators guide you through all phases of the project and are committed to constructive stakeholder relations. To do this, we use a variety of dialogue formats with classic or innovative and creative methods, depending on your needs and the desired effect:

  • Service design/design thinking
  • Gamification
  • Open innovation & open foresight
  • Futures wheel
  • Future workshop
  • Press conferences
  • Mediation
  • Creative kick-off and closing events

To ensure that everything runs smoothly, we support you in the holistic planning of the events, from participant management, room organisation and catering to technology. We create friendly and constructive dialogue and working environments in which participants feel safe and comfortable.

Public relations, open participation projects and internal participation processes

We develop, design and maintain digital and analogue communication formats. This includes informative PR work, cooperative participation projects and creative participation processes, whether in public or internal development projects. Our colleagues have years of project experience in energy infrastructure, location development, strategy processes and public participation. They also have interdisciplinary skills in mediation, systemic organisational development and futurology.

Documentation, studies and evaluations

The focus of multi-stakeholder processes is to capture results and knowledge for decision-making. We document your events in minutes, chart reports, presentations or photo documentation. Thanks to our scientific consulting work on topics such as energy and regional development, we also provide well-founded analyses and fact-based foundations for your decisions.
