New revenue streams through participatory practices can strengthen financial sustainability and diversify funding, while helping you continue to serve your community as a hub for social and cultural innovation. That might be the answer you’re looking for that starts you on this journey.

Recognising Opportunity

Reflect on your organisation:

• What are its strengths and weaknesses?

• Where can you add value?

• Where can you capture value?

Identify a specific challenge to address — choose a product, service, or area you want to develop.

Stakeholder mapping

Key considerations:

• How many stakeholders should be involved?

• Are the stakeholders ready and available to participate?

• What is their need or motivation for co-ideation?

Balance this with:

• Your organisation’s own ideas

• Ideas from the community

• Ideas from partners

Execute Your Action Plan

Key Considerations:

Number and frequency of meetings

• Timeline and requirements for product/service development

Keep in touch with all participants — it’s a participatory process!
