A tailored implementation plan
We have developed a thorough onboarding process to enable a successful launch of your platform and engagement project(s). The number of sessions depends on your license plan. After your onboarding, we follow up proactively and remain available through our support channels. And because we understand that you sometimes need just a little bit more help, you always have the option to add extra sessions to your package as needed.

Kickoff session

Kick-off meeting during which we discuss your main objectives and design the implementation plan together.

Strategy design

Using CitizenLab’s e-Participation Canvas™ and Online Workshops environment, we co-design a strategy for engagement success.

Platform training

We design your first project(s) together while we advise you on how to leverage specific platform functionalities.

Advisory session

Choose between an engagement booster workshop, inspiration session, organisational workshop, or process design workshop.

Pre-launch review

Here’s what clients say about CitizenLab

CItizenLab

"A lot of times in local government everyone is excited about a new product but not everyone is trained to know and engage with the new initiative. The Government Success Manager from CitizenLab  really helped us to have people engaged across departments to make sure this program is successful.”

Milzy Carrasco
Director of Neighborhood Engagement, City of Lancaster, Pennsylvania (USA)
CitizienLab

“When you drill down into the functionality you see that CitizenLab is more flexible, visually appealing, and user-friendly... I feel the way CitizenLab’s platform is set up fosters a positive participation environment [and] the fact that the back office is so easy to use has been a massive bonus because it doesn’t scare anyone away, no matter their comfort level with technology.”

Jennifer Maclean
Digital Services Team Leader (Stirling, UK)
