What happens when your consultation processes go off the rails? Lauren Beriont from The Emgergence Collective talks about how a lot of our feedback and co-creation processes face three major problems:
1) They assume a trust that does not exist between different stakeholders
2) They are centering the wrong actor--the donor or the most powerful group in the process--instead of focusing on the impact the world needs to see.
3) They are looking to validate a plan that is already in place (but maybe not on paper yet), not create a new plan
How do we fix that? Have scary conversations. Talk about what's not working, what assumptions people holding, and tackle real power dynamics. Look at what impact donors expect, vs. the kind of impact people are actually seeing happen.
