How to include relevant stakeholders?
Inclusive stakeholder management
Inclusive stakeholder management is key in building an inclusive Digital Building Logbook. To achieve the best results, start every project by identifying and understanding stakeholders who might be left out or less considered.
- Stakeholder identification: begin by pinpointing different groups based on various factors like gender, age, income, and more, and truly understand their unique needs. Use methods like surveys and focus groups to gather insights.
- Ensure engagement: engage these groups by sharing knowledge and giving them a say in decisions from start to finish.
- Empower: Lastly, set clear goals for your project or policy to encourage stakeholder feedback and participation, helping them gain independence and influence outcomes.
Inclusive stakeholder mapping
Creating a stakeholder map is to gain a comprehensive understanding and overview of the stakeholders involved in a project or service. You see how they are related to each other and how they influence each other. You can create a stakeholder map to visualize who is involved in a project but also to visualize how an organisation is structured. By achieving this understanding together with the project team, the stakeholders can be effectively managed throughout the process.
Inclusive recruitment
Inclusive recruitment for user tests is crucial as it ensures that products and services consider the diverse needs of all users by actively engaging participants from various backgrounds and abilities. This approach uncovers a wide range of perspectives, including those from marginalised communities and individuals with disabilities, thereby identifying potential barriers and enhancing overall usability and accessibility.
