Working with Stakeholder Dialogues

Working towards a more sustainable world requires bringing together differing world-views and balancing conflicts of interests for responsible business, people-oriented public service and a strong civil society.

Stakeholder Dialogues are a methodology for the design and implementation of consultation and cooperation processes that are built on the inclusion and integration of different interest groups.

Such a collaborative approach requires new competencies for globally and locally responsible leaders. It calls for conscious leadership in integrating differences in cultures, interests and goals.

With a well-structured approach Stakeholder Dialogues lead to practical outcomes that could not have been achieved otherwise and that can be implemented more easily because all stakeholders involved experience a higher degree of ownership. High-quality Stakeholder Dialogues create a climate of trust, commitment and collective intelligence.

Based on the Collective Leadership Institute’s 5 years of experience in process support and capacity building, the practical guide Working with Stakeholder Dialogues supports you in planning, implementing and evaluating successful and result-oriented consultation and cooperation between different stakeholders.
