Sector Policy participation, Environment and Planning Act and citizens' assemblies

The live conversation your participation platform is missing.

Comment forms collect opinions. A live, anonymous dialogue with many residents shows what they agree on.

Where it applies 3 moments

Where the dialogue fits in municipalities

Participation that goes beyond comment forms and the usual faces at the public consultation evening.

  1. 01

    Environment and Planning Act

    For a vision, programme or plan it must be clear who was involved, what was gathered and what happens with it. The dialogue provides that substantiation.

  2. 02

    Beyond the usual faces

    The consultation evening attracts the people who would come anyway. An online dialogue also reaches residents you would otherwise hear less often.

  3. 03

    Policy and evaluation

    Synthetron is strong at policy level: testing visions, evaluating programmes and deepening citizens' assemblies.

Questions from municipalities

Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.

We already have a participation platform.

Keep it. A platform collects responses over time; the dialogue brings large groups into conversation at one moment.

Will enough residents take part?

Yes. Invitation and timing drive turnout, and we design both together with you.

Seven moments when you want to hear from your organisation

Every application works with the same live dialogue.

01 / The why behind the score

Deepen your employee survey

The survey results are in, but the why is missing. One dialogue around the key scores delivers a prioritised action list.

View: deepen your employee survey
02 / Dialogue around the announcement

Change

A reorganisation, merger or measure has to land. Gauge the concerns before you break the news, and again afterwards.

View: change
03 / Honesty on sensitive topics

Psychological safety

An anonymous dialogue about topics people do not discuss out loud. With reporting for the board, HR and the works council.

View: psychological safety
04 / A plan that is almost final

Test a decision

There is a plan on the table. Test where the support is and which objections you need to take seriously.

View: test a decision
05 / Strategy in practice

Strategy

A strategy only works when people understand it and dare to question it. Let teams and layers respond to it.

View: strategy
06 / Broad and demonstrable

Consultation

Hear large groups in one hour and make visible where they differ and which direction gets support.

07 / A fixed listening calendar

Continuous listening

Do not wait for signals to escalate. A fixed dialogue calendar lets leadership hear periodically what is changing.

Ask one question of everyone it concerns

In a demo we show you how your question works as a dialogue: what you ask, who you invite and what you'll have at the end.
