Engagement isn’t broken – but the way it’s being done often is
Hearing from the few, missing the many
We all know Susan and Bob, who are at every town hall, eager to share their two cents – sometimes even unrequested. But what about the rest of your community? To make supported decisions, you need more than just the usual suspects.
Too many tools,
too little connection
Planning loves mapping tools, Communications prefers surveys, and youth outreach swears by in-person. The result? Data stays locked in silos, progress slows, frustration builds, and collaboration fails. Silos belong on farms, not in government processes.
Overwhelmed by input, missing the insights
Understanding community input is like returning to a group chat after a weekend offline – hundreds of messages, overlapping conversations, and no clear way to figure out what matters. It's hard to make sense of it all without the right tools or paying expensive consultants with taxpayers’ money.
