<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Your great reflections Birgitt,
inspire me to post a list of 8 requirements for authentic engagement I’m
using in an upcoming book project on community and organization visioning.<br>
<br>
1. Actionable invitation<br>
<br>
People need to be invited into a question or issue that is actionable by
participants – something they can take and share responsibility for<br>
<br>
2. Convener and participant transparency<br>
<br>
Trust is one of more vital currencies that support genuine and sustainable
transactions, collaborations, and transformation. Trust requires transparency.
We let other people know where we stand, however much conflict or consensus
that attracts. We let people what we’re up to. Negative surprises are
symptomatic of non-transparency. This goes for hosts and conveners and participants
alike.<br>
<br>
3. Volunteer stakeholder participation<br>
<br>
People support what they co-create. Authentic engagement engages the
diverse universe of stakeholders in the community, especially if they have
historically been little or no voice in the process. Participation must be
voluntary; people need to feel free to participate or not.<br>
<br>
4. Data-rich creativity<br>
<br>
We need to keep the creative process grounded in and enriched by all kinds of
research and risk management. Decisions by data prevent decisions by
trust-destroying back-room dealing and engagement-killing decisions by position
and power.<br>
<br>
5. Multiple approaches<br>
<br>
Engagement is at its best when the community is free to consider multiple
futures. Multiple dream scenarios open doors to inclusionist options that
engage people’s passions and strengths in deeper ways.<br>
<br>
6. Transparent givens<br>
<br>
People need to know what the constraint and governance process givens are. They
need to be real givens.<br>
<br>
7. Sufficient time<br>
<br>
People need to have enough time for meaningful participation in scope of what
they’re invited to participate in<br>
<br>
8. Equal access to information<br>
<br>
There are no huge gaps in how much access people have to data required for
reality-based ideas and decisions<br>
