• stakeholder engagement and input contribute to stronger decisions, as well as a shared understanding and commitment to strategic directions (Ackerman et al. 2001; Jackson 2003); • decision-making often draws on subjective information, for which there is little to no direct evidence; and • common methodologies for collecting subjective information from broad groups of stakeholders (i.e., surveys, interviews, focus groups and the Delphi technique) can be extremely impersonal, time consuming and labour intensive.
