It’s important to genuinely engage with stakeholders with an interest in your taskforce, such as line areas or agencies or state and territory governments, as well industry groups, peak bodies and users of products or services, in order to inform your work, gain new ideas and ensure you provide evidence-based advice.
You should identify and engage with stakeholders early on and set aside time to maintain relationships, including through updates on taskforce work and closing the feedback loop. Effective stakeholder engagement can help with valuable buy-in to your taskforce’s objectives.
