With the Canvas Stakeholder Engagement (Thijs Kraassenberg, Johanneke de Lint In Roelof Benthem; Kluwer 2017) you collaborate with teammates, colleagues, and management to ensure a professional start to an environmental process. This prevents surprises and misunderstandings, significantly increasing the chances of success.

The book offers steps, examples, and tools to fill in a canvas yourself in a work session: the entire environmental plan on one clear poster.

Summary

This book is intended for any professional who takes their environment seriously. Think, for example, of a project leader, program manager, process director, communication manager, quartermaster, or, of course, an stakeholder engagement manager. People who work on an initiative that is strongly connected to the environment.

In times of fake news, a digitized society, growing distrust in institutions, and all sorts of grassroots movements, is there still added value to stakeholder engagement?

In this book, the authors elaborate on how professional stakeholder engagement should take shape, especially in this era. They do this using all sorts of striking examples from the world of healthcare, government, energy, and construction.

‘Canvas Stakeholder Engagement’ offers teams and organizations a practical tool to jointly design stakeholder engagement at the start of a task. With the canvas, you are better prepared for the new Environmental Act: it ensures that you have structured conversations with each other about how you want to engage with stakeholders in your project. What responsibilities you take on with this and what that means for the further organization of the environmental process.
