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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 03
Policy and evaluation
Synthetron is strong at policy level: testing visions, evaluating programmes and deepening citizens' assemblies.
Dialogue calendar 3 moments
One calendar, aligned with the cycle you already have
The report shows who took part and which points get broad support.
| Moment | Dialogue | What it delivers |
|---|---|---|
| Draft policy | Policy dialogue | Participation report with support per proposal |
| Evaluation | Evaluation dialogue | Bottlenecks and the solutions with the most support |
| Citizens' assembly | Broadening dialogue | Testing with a larger group of residents |
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.
- View: deepen your employee survey
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: change
Change
A reorganisation, merger or measure has to land. Gauge the concerns before you break the news, and again afterwards.
- View: psychological safety
Psychological safety
An anonymous dialogue about topics people do not discuss out loud. With reporting for the board, HR and the works council.
- View: test a decision
Test a decision
There is a plan on the table. Test where the support is and which objections you need to take seriously.
- View: strategy
Strategy
A strategy only works when people understand it and dare to question it. Let teams and layers respond to it.
- View: consultation
Consultation
Hear large groups in one hour and make visible where they differ and which direction gets support.
- View: continuous listening
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 you see Upvoice with your own question: what you ask, who you invite and what you'll have at the end.
