Abstract

This chapter covers the major role of engagement in the decision-making process and its indisputable value in the implementation of strategies and management tools to achieve sustainable development. Different theoretical views on this topic have been investigated: the proposed model considers engagement as the foundation of modern knowledge as well as a means to develop cognitive capabilities by focusing on the individual subjective sphere through intentionality processes and, on the social and collective dimension, through interaction processes. With this view, technology advances identify in ICTs the perfect tools to maximise interaction mechanisms and ease knowledge sharing processes with society. This chapter also identifies the need to provide resources and adequate means to ensure the efficacy and efficiency of engagement in a clustering-based approach: it offers an insight on the selection of partners and group composition, the governance, the adoption of codes of conduct, communication and coordination tools. The analysis further extends to examine the different forms of co-produced governance including the collaboration of a large set of actors and the important role of multi-stakeholder committees, with special emphasis on the informal role of engagement that should embrace well-defined collaborative approaches to deliver tangible results.
