Stakeholder Engagement Process

January 30 from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Free

The SEP (Stakeholder Engagement Plan) workshop, led by Tessa LeSage, Chief Impact Officer at Collaboratory, is an immersive session designed to teach a relationship-based, systems-building approach to addressing complex social problems. This workshop emphasizes that in community collaboration, the process itself is the product, and the quality of outcomes directly correlates with the underlying engagement process. Participants will learn fundamental principles such as systemness, the importance of relationships, the critical role of process, and the necessity of internal leadership. The workshop will guide attendees through four key stages: identifying relevant stakeholders, understanding data and information, co-creating new collaborative methods, and redesigning work through rewired relationships. By focusing on these elements, the workshop aims to equip participants with the tools and frameworks necessary to engage cross-sector stakeholders effectively, ultimately improving collaborative efforts to enhance the human condition.

*Refreshments will be available

Since no single organization can solve big social problems alone, Collaboratory is using its community leadership role to bring together local organizations and people from different sectors (like businesses, nonprofits, and government) to work on common goals. This collaboration aims to improve Southwest Florida and make it a better place to live, work, learn, and play.

The impact dashboard shows key regional goals that everyone is working toward, with the aim of solving social issues by 2040. It provides a point-in-time snapshot of progress by tracking important indicators that show how the community is changing over time. While these changes take time and there is often a delay between when the data is collected and becomes available, the dashboard helps us understand where we need to focus our efforts to achieve our shared goals.

In 2022, in concert with hundreds of individuals and organizations, we collectively identified the issues of housing and health as the next most-pressing areas of need. Based on that data, we’ve modeled FutureMakers Coalition, our nine-year initiative, to establish two new regional coalitions: Home and Health & Wellness.
