1. Introduction Stakeholder collaboration framework
“It is impossible to solve today’sproblems by thinking the way we thought when we created the problems”
Albert Einstein

What is stakeholder collaboration
� A process of interactive learning and empowerment that enables stakeholders with common goal to be collectively innovative and resilient when faced with emerging risks, crises and opportunities of a complex and changing environment.
Other Terminology
� Social learning
� Dialogue
� Transition processes
� Interactive policy making
� Participation
� Citizen engagement
� Learning alliances
� Collaborative action

Brainstorm
� Try to define 345 key characteristics of a Multi4stakeholder process
Characteristics of a ‘MSP’

Reasons for stakeholder collaboration
� Ethical
� Peoples rights to influence decisions that affect their lives
� Political
� Power differences require engagement for change
� Pragmatic
� Knowledge and commitment of different groups is needed for effective change
� Systemic
� For learning and resilience in complex and rapidly changing environments distributed and decentralized, rather than hierarchical, decision making is needed
No Silver Bullet
� Common goal is necessary
� Power dynamics are complex
� Time consuming
� Require new capacities
� May lack necessary power
� Can be ‘captured’ and marginalise weak groups
� Need to integrate with government processes

Theoretical assumptions
Overarching concepts:
� Paradigms
� Participation
� Human motivation and action
� Cognition and learning (organisational learning)
� Governance and democracy
� Power, social change, conflict and negotiation
� Systems thinking (complexity, chaos)
Paradigms: the depth of assumptions
What we see in terms of actions and how decision4making takes place
That which directly influences decision4making
Deep drivers of our behavior and the choices that we make
![Page 7: Introduction: Stakeholder collaboration framework](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062617/54c042894a795954368b45a4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Exercise
� Dance floor!
From Paradigms to Practice
ParadigmAn overarching framework of beliefs, assumptions and approaches that shape how individuals, organisations or societies behave and respond to
problems and opportunities
MethodologyA coherent and logical approach or process for undertaking particular
types of tasks or solving particular problems
Tools, Methods and TechniquesThe specific ways of completing micro4level tasks that add up to a
methodology
![Page 8: Introduction: Stakeholder collaboration framework](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062617/54c042894a795954368b45a4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Assumptions about Governance
Systems thinking
� Brings a holistic and interdisciplinary perspective to complex problems
� Is about the methodologies and approaches that can be used to better understand the internal dynamics and interactions of complex social and physical systems

� What are institutions?
� How do institutions influence MSPs and vice versa?

Institutions
� Understood as the ‘rules of the game’ that makeordered social life possible.
� Examples of institutions:
� Language
� Currency
� Marriage
� Religion
� Property rights
� Taxation
� Education system
� Laws
� Policies
Difference Organisations 4 Institutions
� Organisations:
� structures that have been created to take advantage of the opportunities for action provided by existing institutions, or to implement new institutions such as laws and regulations.
� Institutions:
� the rules, organisations and social norms that facilitate human and organisational action. As such institutions are essential in determining efficient, sustainable and equitable development outcomes since their functioning helps in creating trust and confidence in joint potential.
