Governance
Consultation plan
A consultation plan is a practical management and governance tool used to set out how an organisation will seek, collect, analyse and respond to views before making or finalising a decision. At its simplest, a consultation plan asks: Who needs to be consulted, what are we asking them, how will we gather their views, and how will those views influence the final decision? That makes it useful for public sector decisions, charity governance, property development, planning applications, organisational change, service redesign, policy development, customer engagement, staff restructuring, community projects, education, healthcare, housing, transport, risk management and board reporting.
