Spectrum of Public Participation ReversedThe graphic upon which this StratML rendition is based depicts the concept of "reversing" the IAP2 Spectrum of Public Participation to put the emphasis on the community taking the role of "decision-maker". The Government would become the recipient of the desired level of engagement. The community becoming decision-makers adopts a "bottom-up" versus "top down" approach.Disclaimer: The graphic on which this StratML rendition is based was produced by Becky Hirst Consulting simply to trigger discussion related to citizen-led processes and is unconnected to any official work of the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2).Becky Hirst ConsultingBHC_68a41740-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bddThe community as the decision-maker._68a41894-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bddTo trigger discussion related to citizen-led processes._68a4193e-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bddPublic ParticipationEmpowermentIdentify what is important to our community and take action to implement change where necessary._68a41a6a-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bdd1Communities_68a41af6-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bddCollaborationWork together with Government as providers of advice, support and resources where necessary._68a41b78-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bdd2Government_68a41c7c-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bddInvolvementWork with Government to ensure that its concerns and issues are directly reflected in any alternative solutions developed._68a41d12-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bdd3Government_68a41d9e-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bddConsultationKeep Government informed, listen to and acknowledge concerns and provide feedback on how government input influenced our decision-making._68a41e20-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bdd4_68a41eac-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bddInformationKeep the government informed._68a41f38-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bdd5_68a41fc4-ca68-11e4-9039-5e213efa8bdd2015-03-14http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.iap2.org/resource/resmgr/imported/IAP2%20Spectrum_vertical.pdfOwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
