#39;s a thread with some thoughts and resources...

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2"> The three most important questions are:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❔" title="Weißes Fragezeichen Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Weißes Fragezeichen Symbol">Why - what&
#39;s your purpose for involving people?

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❔" title="Weißes Fragezeichen Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Weißes Fragezeichen Symbol">Who - who do you need to involve?

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❔" title="Weißes Fragezeichen Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Weißes Fragezeichen Symbol">How - what&
#39;s your process for involving them?
The really important thing - methods & tools come last!

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3"> Step 1 is defining your purpose.
There are lots of different reasons to involve people: Collecting ideas, understanding experience, reviewing plans, weighing up options, taking action...
Be clear about your purpose. It shapes everything else.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="4⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 4" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 4"> Step 2 is considering who needs to be involved.
Be deliberate about this. Is it a specific group, a representative cross-section, anyone with ideas or energy?
What do they need to take part? And what&
#39;s in it for them?

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="5⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 5" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 5"> Step 3 is thinking about how to involve them.
You&
#39;ll need to consider your context, logistics, resources, communications, decision-making process...
Treat this as a design process - planning from beginning to end.
