Solstice Consulting10 The Learning Cycle insert ISEA slide

Solstice Consulting11 Is it happening? anecdotally - not as much as it could still a focus on getting the report out not yet reaping the benefits because engagement is not connected to the learning infrastructure need more transparency some bright lights

Solstice Consulting12 Focus on AA1000 AA1000 is the SEAAR standard developed by the Institute of Social and Ethical AccountAbility, London UK provides guidance for reporting organizations and for auditors AA1000s builds on standard increased emphasis on responsiveness

Solstice Consulting13 AA1000s stakeholder engagement module rationale: organizations are investing heavily in stakeholder engagement without meeting their own or stakeholders’ objectives objective: recognize effective stakeholder engagement

Solstice Consulting14 Quality dimensions in stakeholder engagement inclusiveness - who is included procedural - design and implementation responsiveness - taking action on the basis of the engagement outcomes - what happens, with what costs and benefits, for whom?
