Independent Convenor

What is an Independent Convenor?

Larger organisations such as Government Departments increasingly require one third party to handle all their stakeholder engagement requirements on a project, often for a number of years. This is where appointing an independent Convenor can be valuable, especially for a contentious issue where independence is key.

What does 3KQ do in this role?

3KQ's role as independent Convenor is to:

- be the central point of contact for stakeholders on the project

- design workshops and other engagement activity

- deliver workshops and other engagement activity

- write independent and balanced reports

- liaise with participants

- make independent judgements on membership, expenses, payment etc

- mediate as needed

- run training for staff or participants as needed

- hold the secretariat for all engagement activity

Overall, to provide expertise and independence to the process of stakeholder engagement over a long period of time.

For over 2 years, 3KQ was the independent Convenor for the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (a Government Body) in partnership with Dialogue by Design
