Community Engagement

Community engagement refers to the many ways organisations connect with communities.

Engagement covers a wide variety of interactions: from information sharing, community consultation and community development, to active participation in policy development and decision-making processes.

The Capire team are internationally recognised community engagement specialists. We have skills in every aspects of the engagement lifecycle – scoping, strategy, design, delivery, implementation and evaluation.

Social Development

With community engagement at its core, social development is a process that involves understanding and responding to new or existing communities’ unique aspirations and challenges.

Capire combines research and strategy with community engagement to maximise community benefit. We work collaboratively with stakeholders and the community to develop places and programs where people feel connected, safe and have access to the services and facilities they need.

Facilitation

Facilitation is the process of enabling groups to work cooperatively and effectively. Facilitation is important in forums where people of diverse backgrounds, interests and capabilities are working together.

Capire’s facilitators provide independence from the content or historical decision-making patterns of the group and have the ability to cut through the political, personal, or cultural barriers to get to the core issue. We pride ourselves on our ability to recognise obstacles to change and to identify shared solutions.

Strategic Communication

Strategic communication is about communicating with purpose, using strategic insight to solve problems, build knowledge and grow influence.

Capire believes communication and stakeholder engagement should be based on respect and transparency, to develop common ground and understanding. With an analytical and rigorous approach, we help our clients grow their connections and reputation.

Data Analysis and Reporting

Capire is available to work with you to obtain greater insights and clarity from your engagement data.

The Capire team are specialists in taking large volumes of quantitative and qualitative data collected through a range of engagement techniques to understand what the community is really saying. We are confident our approach maximises the data integrity by combining skilled analysts with insightful tools. We are committed to transparent reporting in a way that respects and values contributions of all participants.

Visual Communication

Capire transforms voices into insight to untangle complex problems. Helping clients perceive problems doesn’t stop with the written and verbal, however.

We also use visual communication to impart ideas, translate data and capture attention. The design services we provide range from branded identities to infographics and reports.

By employing clever and engaging visual design, we strengthen communication and understanding between our clients and their stakeholders.
