    Online workshop | Tools for stronger argument and clearer writing | Workshop 59

    Many people feel that professional documents, including the demanding ones for Impact Assessment (IA) or Assessment of Environmental Effects in New Zealand, are overly long, complex and filled with unnecessary details. Many suggest that better-written documents would help. That idea isn’t wrong, but it isn’t enough. Because you can’t write clearly if you don’t have something clear to say. And many professionals, who can master data and analysis, struggle with converting their observations into useful conclusions and recommendations.

    Online workshop | Meaningful public participation and Impact Assessment: Tools for effective engagement and communications | Workshop 3

    Public participation, often referred to as community engagement, is a cornerstone of impact assessment (IA) and planning approvals processes. However, ongoing challenges to meaningful engagement include:

    • the complexity of the regulatory environment,
    • navigating uncertainty in impact assessment of policies, plans, programmes or projects, and
    • often low levels of public trust in organisations involved in these endeavours, the media, and governance processes[1].

    Join EIANZ and facilitator Tanya Burdett, for training in public participation, with a focus on impact assessment, explores 13 foundational, essential and contextual elements that combine to form meaningful engagement in IA.

    [1] The 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer suggests 61% have moderate or higher sense of grievance, with impacts on trust; and there are similarly low levels of trust in the emerging role of AI according to a recent KPMG / MelbUni study on trust, attitudes and AI use here
