Once appropriate stakeholders have been identified and measures taken to ensure their involvement, the next question to answer is how do stakeholders engage in participatory planning and decisionmaking? This section documents approaches that sponsors and designers have used to collaborate with other stakeholders in this process. Participatory planning and decisionmaking should start by creating a mood for learning rather than plunging directly into problem solving. The learning phase then sets the stage for strategic and tactical planning. The strategic planning stage in turn generates broad directions and priorities, which are operationalized into detailed implementation actions during tactical planning.
