Stakeholder Involvement Strategies
Focus Groups
Focus groups provide a way to understand better the hopes and concerns of community members, employers, educators, and students in the change process. Taking three months or so to conduct a series of focus groups with different audiences may seem time-consuming – or even a setback for educators who already know what they want to do – but what is often learned in this process by both educators and community members significantly increases everyone’s understanding of the need for goals of change.

Focus groups provide more qualitative information than written surveys. In the focus group setting you can demonstrate a product, service, or activity. As well, you can gauge the emotional intensity of the participant’s reactions. Source: Fundraising and Marketing in the One-Person Shop By Michael J. Henley, CFRE and Diane L.
