In deliberative engagement, the journey towards meaningful outcomes begins with a pivotal step: crafting a clear and meaningful problem statement. This crucial task can be stressful, but we’re here to help you navigate it smoothly and confidently.
This is part of the process we enjoy – we love partnering with sponsoring organisations (the decision makers) to craft a statement describing the dilemma the deliberation group seeks to solve. Getting this statement right sets up for successful and effective deliberative engagement.
A clear problem statement serves as the compass that guides both the deliberating group and the organisation, ensuring that discussions remain focused and purposeful. It manages expectations at the outset, so everyone knows what is in scope for discussion and what the sponsoring organisation promises to do with the advice from the deliberation group.
We have over 15 years of experience in developing bespoke and robust deliberative engagement methodologies and have used this to prepare these guidelines to support the development of clear and meaningful problem statements.
