Key principles of stakeholder engagement
Eight takeaways – creative engagement
• Stakeholders have the solutions – you never know
where the creativity will come from
• Everyone has a voice - give everyone a way to
make an input at the same time
• Individual and group time – think then share - give
people time on their own to develop ideas before
sharing
• Building a shared picture – encourage participants
to make connections and patterns from their ideas

Activity based – something to do for each stage
Start with the positive - ask what is going well?
what works?
• End with solutions not problems - give some time
to develop solutions to problems
• Lead into action - remember takeaway messages &
action points, what happens next?
Each bit of the kit helps lead you through
running a workshop
Eight takeaways – how Ketso helps
• Stakeholders have the solutions - felt is there
to capture ideas
• Everyone has a voice – everyone has a pen and
leaves
• Individual and group time –giving out the leaves
‘re-sets’ the process – different stages
• Building a shared picture – you can move the
leaves around, branches give (some) structure

Building a shared picture
• Activity-led – legend – decide what you want to
ask and assign a bit of kit to that stage
• Start with the positive – colours have an
underlying metaphor – what is the soil we have to
grow ideas in?
• End with solutions not problems – green
shoots from the grey of the clouds
• Lead into action – you have Ketso planners and
a Ketso grid, use icons and comments cards to
note actions!
