Description: All those involved in creating and maintaining the built environment are aware of the enormous impact of our industry and the large numbers of stakeholders involved. But how does stakeholder engagement apply to the huge variety of projects and issues current in the UK? When done well, SE is a major part of maintaining the ‘licence to operate’ bestowed by society that any organisation needs for success. Ignoring it or merely paying lip-service- can lead to conflict and increased risk and even prosecution.

This workshop introduced the principles of stakeholder engagement and explained how it applies to organisations involved in many different types of activity, from mixed use developments to water resources issues.
