DEFINING PROBLEMS
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 21
“If I had one hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.”Albert Einstein
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 22
WHY DOES IT MATTER?• Most cities come into URBACT with a problem already defined…
• Often, this is a broadly stated problem…defined by a particular stakeholder/s
• As natural ‘fixers’ we often jump to solutions too quickly
• Under scrutiny, the problem is often redefined – sometimes more specific, other times transformed
• The process of defining and agreeing the problem fosters openness, transparency and a shared approach

STAKEHOLDERS – WHO ARE THEY?
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 27
“Any individual, groups of people, institutions or firms that may have a significant interest in the success or failure of a project / plan (either as implementers, facilitators, beneficiaries or adversaries) are defined as ‘stakeholders’.”
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 28
CRITICAL FOR SUCCESS AND SUSTAINABILITY
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 29
STAKEHOLDERS ARE CRITICAL FOR SUCCESS AND SUSTAINABILITY
• Improve content and planned results• Motivate engagement of those that will benefit from
the actions• Cross check relevance and need for the actions • Create consensus, support and build relationships
around planned actions• Higher chance of successful results• Reduce risks
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 30
WHY PARTICIPATION?• More knowledge and information• Better suited to change processes• Co-creation brings about better quality results• Increases motivation• Ensures commitment for the implementation phase
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 31
ACHIEVING COMMITMENTCommitment is not an action you can make an agreement on! Commitment is a process everyone has to go through!
Participation• Involvement in
reflection
Insight• Background,
alternatives, views
Acceptance• Ownership,
positive feelingsCommitment
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 32
KEY INGREDIENTS OF GOOD MEETINGS• Clear structure• Efficient use of time• All participants are active – all the time• People enjoy the meeting and are motivated• Leads to collective, structured views• Leads to visible results, commitment• People leave the meeting in good mood
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 33
MAP AND KNOW YOUR STAKEHOLDERS• Identify - who are they?
• Analyse– who is important, who is interested, who is not? Who has power and influence?
• Engagement – what do the stakeholders want? What do you want? How can you help them deliver what you want? How can you shift their positions?
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 34
A GOOD STARTING POINT IS TO CONSIDER THE INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANISATIONS:
• You want/expect to benefit; • Who complain that you’re not doing anything to resolve an issue;• Who have similar issues to address;• Who may already be rolling out a programme that may be working towards
common goals;• Who may wish to fund or co-fund a project;• Who don’t know about what you are trying to achieve but who are quick to
criticise;• Who may be adversely affected by your project;• The media.
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 35
ANALYSING AND PRIORITISING STAKEHOLDERS
High Importance / Low influence
They require special attention if their interests are to be protected.
High Importance / High Influence
Develop good working relationships with these stakeholders to ensure support.
Keep informed throughout the process they are unlikely to be the focus of the activity .
Low importance / Low Influence
These stakeholders may be ‘deal breakers’ and could constitute a serious risk.

WORKING WITH STAKEHOLDERS• Be clear about what you are seeking to achieve;• Find out what makes key stakeholders tick;• Understand your impact on others;• Look for common ground;• Be flexible and adapt your approach for different
audiences.
URBACT LAB 1 SESSION 1 37
GETTING THE BEST OUT OF STAKEHOLDERS• Make sure a wide set of views and opinions can be
expressed; • Create an inclusive and positive environment;• Ensure that everyone (Community) gets a voice in the
most appropriate way;• Presentations, workshops, focus groups; traditional and
social media can be used to encourage discussions and agreement at different stages.
