📢 ‘Reimagining the language of engagement in a post-stakeholder world’ recognised with the Sustainability Science Best Paper Award 2024!
Published in Sustainability Science (Springer Nature), the article by Professors Mark Reed, Eric Jensen, and colleagues, has been selected as one of three award-winning papers.
The paper explores how the commonly used term 'stakeholder' can unintentionally sustain colonial perspectives and systemic inequities. It calls for a more inclusive and reflexive approach to language that places the people, places, and species directly affected by decisions and research practices at the centre.

Facilitation skills are not just for change & improvement "experts". Every leader should have them.
Organisations that integrate facilitation into their leadership approach report more productive & engaged teams, improved innovation & better decision-making.
Facilitative leadership is even more important in the era of AI. AI can analyse trends, detect patterns & generate content, but it can't replicate the trust built through dialogue, or the remarkable outcomes that can emerge when people collaborate to make sense of complex issues together.
How we might go about making facilitative leadership the norm:
1) Integrate facilitation into leadership development activities, providing training, coaching, resources & safe spaces to practice.
2) Have senior leaders role model facilitative approaches.
3) Build understanding of situations where we should limit the number/style of decisionmakers & those where we should be facilitative.
4) Make facilitative approaches the leadership norm/expectation & build them into organisational processes.
5) Encourage peer learning so leaders can share experiences, discuss challenges & learn from one another.
