To better understand the success of its engagement and work with its stakeholders, CRDC engaged Intuitive Solutions to design and implement a program of research to capture and collate the experiences of CRDC’s stakeholders in their dealings with the organisation. This feedback process covered topics including: o stakeholder organisational details, to enable profiling and reporting of results for key stakeholder segments; o fundamentals of the partnership with CRDC; o outcomes and dividends from the partnership with CRDC; o empathy and alignment between stakeholders; o how CRDC does things; o comparison of CRDC to other partners that engage with their organisation; o RD&E and sustainability initiatives; o CRDC’s performance in terms of their 5 year strategic plan; and o overall satisfaction with the partnership, engagement and trust in the CRDC. To reflect the nature of the nature of the different partnerships across the stakeholder audience, a mixed mode was implemented, as follows: o one on one telephone interviews (approximately 25 to 30 minutes) with CRDC’s key stakeholders; and o an online (10 minute) survey of other important stakeholders
