| Want to be more effective - not thwarted - in today’s natural resource conservation workplace? This course will teach participants how to choose the appropriate strategies for turning opponents of their project into those who give their grudging or full consent to get it done. Using Hans and Annemarie Bleiker’s more than 20 years of research and renowned training in public participation, this course will give the participant an understanding of how to be responsive to the conflicting demands of the various publics (without compromising your agency’s mission); and to discover the difference between informed consent and consensus (and know which goal to choose). |
