Jason Diceman - Stakeholder Engagement Consultant

Jason empowers organizations by facilitating constructive public consultation, effective large group deliberation and participatory decision-making.  He leads the planning and implementation of large multi-stakeholder collaborative meetings that lead to clear outputs and the design and management of affordable and productive community engagement processes.  He also specializes in the selection and set-up of easy to use Internet tools for interactive mass communication.

Jason has presented workshops across Canada and the USA, researched consensus cultures in eco-villages in Denmark and spent six months in Venezuela investigating their evolving participatory democracy.
