Our Services
democracyCo provides the following services
Community Engagement Design
We design bespoke community engagement processes which meet your timelines and budget. Have a problem, challenge or opportunity that you want to address? The best first step is to develop a strategy for exploring the issue with those affected or interested.
Complex Engagement & Online deliberation
We are innovators and pioneers in online complex engagement. The onslaught of Covid-19 into our communities has given us the opportunity to develop and use online technologies to enable communities to come together to consider complex issues.
Workshop design and Facilitation
We are expert deliberative engagement facilitators. We manage and facilitate groups of any size. It’s about switching on their collective potential and getting the best out of people and groups.
Partnership Building and Collaboration
What could be better than having all stakeholders working together? It’s immensely powerful and we can help you to strengthen and improve your partnerships and collaborations. We are Australia’s best stakeholder engagement consultants.
