There’s no one way to do stakeholder engagement

Some teams run a small handful of consultations a year, on short statutory timelines. Others manage decade-long relationships with the same communities, across multiple projects, with handovers between staff and changes in scope along the way.Some need every interaction logged in detail. Others want a light touch, just enough structure to keep things organised.

The work is shaped by the project, the sector, the team, the timeline, the regulations, the politics. So why would the software be otherwise?

Software, not methodology

We’re not going to tell you how to do your job.

You know your stakeholders. You know your statutory obligations. You know whether your sentiment scale should be three points or five, whether your project lives or dies on a single consultation report, whether your communities want to be emailed or door-knocked.

Our job is to make sure the platform supports your answer to every one of those questions, not impose one.

And once a year, the whole UK engagement community gets together

Since 2023, we’ve hosted the leading event for stakeholder engagement. We don’t run it to pitch from the stage. We run it because the engagement community needed a proper place to share what works, and nobody else was building it. So we did.

In 2026, on 15 September, we're hosting it at The Studio in Manchester. Morning talks from practitioners doing the work, afternoon workshops where you actually do the work alongside them.

That’s what we mean when we say Tractivity is the home of stakeholder engagement. The software is part of it. The community is the rest.
