STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT FOR POLICY DESIGN AND PLANNING: THE “3XKNOWLEDGE” APPROACH TO FUTURES ANALYSIS | UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) Policy Brief No.30

Authors: 

  • Valentina Amuso | School of Public Policy | University College London
  • Lieve Van Woensel | Former Foresight Advisor | European Parliamentary Research Service, European Parliament
  • Pierluigi Brombo | European Economic and Social Committee | EU
  • Anna Goulden | Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose| University College London
  • Maximilian Schwaiger | Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose | University College London

Highlights

  • Policymakers can create more effective and purpose-driven policies by systematically reflecting on future policy scenarios, implications and outcomes in collaboration with stakeholders. This involves building in-depth understanding and awareness of how grand challenges and societal problems may evolve in the future.
  • The “3XKnowledge” roadmap introduced here provides a three-step guide to foresight exercises. It represents a flexible toolkit to structure thinking around future-oriented policy. The steps are as follows: 1. A guide to stakeholders’ ecosystem mapping & A systemic overview of the ecosystem and possible synergies to enhance policy effectiveness. 2. Good practice in stakeholders’ dialogues. 3. A “balance” and “bias” checklist for policy development.
