2. BACKGROUND
The speed at which online communication and social
networking is evolving is extraordinary. Organisations across
the Public Sector are expanding their use of online platforms
in line with their employees, clients and stakeholders online
behaviour. The online environment is evolving rapidly therefore
organisations must continue adapt and evolve their public
engagement and communication strategy to maximise impact.
With heightened public scrutiny, increasing stakeholder
expectations and the need for Governments to improve
performance and service delivery within finite budgets, it is
more crucial than ever for agencies to find innovative ways to
engage and communicate with the public for citizen-centric
policy development and service delivery.
This unique Masterclass will equip delegates with a sound
understanding of what a successful digital citizen engagement
strategy looks like and how it can achieve effective and
efficient citizen engagement. Using the Design Thinking’
methodology, delegates will develop an implementable
engagement strategy, applicable to real-life projects. Relatable
to your organisation, delegates will be able to increase citizen
participation and collaboration for public policy and service
excellence.
TRAINING DELIVERY AND
PRE-COURSE QUESTIONNAIRE
This masterclass will be delivered using a three tiered approach.
The structure of each session is as follows:
1. Technical overview and review of research into the topic area
under discussion
2. Practical application of management principles in the review
of case studies, worked examples and interactive exercises
3. Discussion of outcomes and implementation issues
Masterclass participants will have the opportunity to include
comments and questions about issues outlined in the program
by way of a pre-course questionnaire. This feedback will
enable the course facilitator to adjust content accordingly.
The masterclass has limited places to allow for customisation,
greater interactivity and for individual concerns to be addressed.

EngagementHQ, the premier online community engagement
application for governments of all levels in Australia, New Zealand

help balance the books.
Over the past eight years Crispin has helped dozens of government
agencies from across the policy spectrum to effectively engage
their stakeholder communities online. Bang the Table’s clients have
included organisations as small as local governments with as few
as 5000 residents, to national agencies servicing over 35 million
people. The Bang the Table team is currently working with 160
organisations to help them engage their communities.
Crispin’s clients have launched over 3,500 online campaigns! The
issues canvassed have ranged from the design and implementation
of a national disability insurance scheme for Australia, a controversial
gas pipeline through remote and urban communities of Canada, and
law reform in New Zealand.
He has a background in stakeholder engagement strategy, public
policy development and whole-of-government coordination (with
a particular emphasis on land use planning, regional economic
development and natural resources management). He has a
particular passion for online dialogue and debate, as well as
(digital) story telling to build empathy within communities, as well as
between communities and government.

contentious mining sector.
