|  Who They Are
| 
|
| People support what they understand--and
understand what they are involved in. |
| |
| |
| People will commit to solving a problem
only when nearly all participants agree the problem is
worth solving , and isn't going
to go away in a "reasonable amount of time." |

No one will accept absolutely everything that
you do. Buildconsent and communicate
to determine if commitment levels
are high enough to solve the problem.
However, people will support your efforts if you fall in
line with their agendas or if you
can convince them that you are doing something worthwhile.
Communicate with your supporters frequently to:
- Keep track of any changes
- Make sure that they understand what you are doing and
why
- Help them explain to others why you think the process
and solution are worth investing in
- Find out if they can help with data, analysis, or ideas
Reality checks help catch misunderstandings
and build credibility . Forge partnerships
with your supporters.
Supporters know others who have similar goals and might
also contribute time and resources.
