Delivering sustainable solutions requires the active involvement and the support of a number of different stakeholders; TEP has considerable skills and experience in identifying, and engaging with, a large variety of interested parties, groups and organisations. Our priority is to develop and maintain good relationships, creating the environment for effective two way dialogue.
We use a range of tools and techniques to support this process, tailored for individual stakeholder groups within each project. We do not apply a “one size fits all” approach. We work with stakeholders at a number of levels; from individuals, such as local residents, to focus groups, through to large scale public events.
We are experienced in dealing with contentious development projects and can address stakeholder concerns and expectations throughout the process, which can sometimes be over several years.
In addition to fostering good relationships, we use other methods to engage stakeholders, such as tailored questionnaires, design competitions, leaflets and exhibitions. For all of these, we produce the visual materials ourselves, using high quality graphics programmes.
