How our work differs

We move engagement from consultation to collaboration, enabling decisions that are trusted, informed and deliverable.

Sparrowly Group designs and delivers stakeholder and community engagement that supports better decisions, stronger buy-in and practical outcomes. 

Change management practices are embedded across all stages of engagement.

As trained members of global best practice through the Engagement Institute (formerly IAP2), we tailor engagement approaches to project context, stakeholder needs and decision-making requirements. 

Our engagement work goes beyond consultation, creating structured, inclusive spaces where stakeholders and communities can contribute meaningfully to strategy, policy and program design.

  • Best practice engagement design and delivery (Engagement Institute) supporting inclusive, transparent and defensible decision-making

Our approach to active participation

A presenter leads a professional workshop session, engaging participants in discussion.

We deliver stakeholder and engagement that is fit-for-purpose, culturally informed and designed to support implementation - not just participation. We design engagement using accessible formats and delivery modes, including in-person, online and hybrid options, to maximise reach and inclusion.

Accessibility and inclusion are embedded in how we design and deliver engagement, ensuring participation is meaningful and equitable for all. We apply culturally informed and respectful engagement approaches, including First Nations and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) engagement, tailored to community context and protocols. 

We facilitate group planning and co-design sessions for teams, boards and executive leadership teams to help navigate complex and evolving environments.

Engagement, co-design and facilitation projects we have delivered

  • Sparrowly Group delivered different engagement methods to reach our businesses and I appreciate how easy they made it to pivot and try new things to get a better outcome for the region.

    - Western Downs Regional Council

  • To say this was the best session I have ever participated in my many years working in the not-for-profit sector is an understatement.

    - Taste Cultural Food Tours

  • Sparrowly Group’s attention to detail and ability to coordinate, consult and engage with a wide range of stakeholders meant the final product was thorough, met the brief and was able to drive our future work.

    - NSW Government, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development

  • We specifically sought out Sparrowly Group based on their ability to get to the heart of what matters. In our case, a specifically facilitated session to obtain clarity around the network’s purpose and articulate it through our vision and promises.

    - Pacific Women's Professional Business Network

  • Sparrowly Group’s ability to bring disparate stakeholders together on the journey of opportunity and change has enabled us as a region to work more collaboratively and connected.

    - Hawkesbury City Council

  • They worked closely with our team and stakeholders to understand what we were trying to achieve and produced an outcome that brought several divergent views together.

    - Bundaberg Regional Council
