Spend less time on the process and fast-track community development.
You want to deliver strategic plans efficiently and in a way that doesn’t stifle community involvement. You want to encourage discussion and ultimately allow development to flourish.
Through collaborative authoring and stakeholder engagement, organisations can author, approve, publish and engage on large strategic documents, with governance, automation and control. From large government departments and executive agencies to small district councils, the Objective Keystone solution helps public agencies transform the way they develop policies and strategies and engage with their stakeholders.
Multiple contributors can work on a document at the same time. Colleagues can work together with shared templates, content and workflows to build impactful, cohesive and consistently structured plans.
Everyone is working on one master document. Change history, version management, comments and actions are all audited and tracked.
Assign specific sections to management for sign off. Fully audited review, verification and sign-off processes are managed using workflows, ensuring both statutory and policy requirements are adhered to.
Capture and record stakeholder information and submissions in a powerful stakeholder database with excellent reporting capabilities.
Ensure inclusivity for all consultations with a multi-channel, browser-based engagement platform. Allow users and the community to access consultations anytime, anywhere. Users can interact with stakeholders though surveys, polls, meeting and social media channels, with easy to use, in-document submissions to plans.
Submissions are returned to you in a structured format that allows for swift analysis, faster response back to the community and easier reporting.
Provide citizens with an easy-to-use, full-screen interactive mapping experience. Allow them to browse, search and filter both textually and geospatially to find information of interest, or discover relevant policy/regulations/content for a particular location.
Give citizens the option to subscribe to a location and receive notifications when you release new or updated information relevant to the area of interest.
