MORE TRUST AND SATISFACTION
Engagement is NOT ...
– a substitute for representative democracy– a chance to avoid responsibility– a way how to postpone unpleasant decisions– a magic key for solving all problems and making
everybody happy– a piece of cake
When engagement does not work?
• When the decision has already been made or then there is only one solution. Why: creates illusion for engagement
• When skills and opportunities for engagement are missing. Why: empty hope
• When there is no respect towards the participants and no interest for their opinion. Why: superficiality and lose of trust
Everyone does not need to be engaged always everywhere. More is always not better!
The more strategic is the decision, the bigger is a need for participation opportunities.

Group assignment: design the participation process for OGP action plan
1) Focus on the target group: whom you need to involve?

Information, consultation, collaboration? Plan methods accordingly

• How many participants?• How many staff we have, how much time and how
much money we need?• Context: what has been made before this meeting?
