Webinar - A Maturity Model for Public Participation

A Maturity Model for Public Participation

How can we uphold core standards for meaningful public participation as governments and organizations increasingly scale engagement into policy and program development? This is the question Simon Fraser University’s Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue tackled with the development of their new Maturity Model for Public Participation, a developmental assessment tool designed to support governments and organizations assess their engagement practice in relation to core principles and enhance their organizational capacity to consistently meet these standards.

In this interactive webinar tailored for engagement practitioners and consultants, learn how you can use the open-source Maturity Model to:

• Develop an action plan to enhance organizational capacity for quality public participation;
• Evaluate past engagement projects or scope potential projects; and
• Advocate for the resources needed to support evidence-based engagement practices
