Understanding stakeholder expectations is an important aspect of asset management and has far-reaching impacts from strategy to implementation. The ways we engage with stakeholders are evolving to where it is no longer sufficient to rely on traditional methods. This change is leading municipal asset management teams to pose key questions:
  • How can we create opportunities for meaningful conversations that can have impact?
  • When should I involve the community in setting service targets?
  • What information should I communicate, and at what level of detail?
  • What is the best channel of communication?
This webinar examines strategies to foster continuous and inclusive community engagement within asset management planning.

Who Should Attend:
  • Municipal staff responsible for asset management or financial planning.

Benefits of Attending:

  • Have a framework to develop a community engagement plan.
  • Have the skills to align community expectations with municipal capabilities.
