Case Study: Forestry Commission reaches dispersed communities and lowers consultation costs with Delib Dialogue

Forestry Commission - Customer Case Study

The Forestry Commission, Britain's largest land manager, needed to effectively consult and engage with geographically dispersed stakeholders and local communities across its vast woodland areas. Their previous methods, such as email and in-person events, were unstructured, costly, and struggled to foster wide-reaching public discussion. They partnered with Delib to implement its Dialogue platform, which offered a user-friendly and accessible solution for online engagement.

Delib's solution provided a structured space for stakeholders to discuss and rate ideas on issues ranging from mountain bike access to organizational restructuring. By moving consultations online with Dialogue, the Forestry Commission significantly lowered its costs while reaching a greater number of people. This resulted in better public discussions and played an essential role in informing the Commission's decision-making processes.
