In this presentation, Gildas Colleter, Coastal Service Leader, Aurecon, discussed key questions around what makes engagement deep and meaningful between project teams to ensure the best outcome of any dredging activity. He looked in particular at these questions:
• What makes an opinion?
• The inherent value in early engagement with key stakeholders
• Identifying why and how activities might interact with stakeholders
• Why an (opinionated) environmental impact assessment is not a
(sound) business strategy
• What is an effective communication strategy
