Engagement lead
Engagement Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in January 2024, states:
The engagement lead is an individual or organisation entrusted with the crucial role of managing, facilitating, resourcing, and executing the engagement programme, activities and plan. The selection of the engagement lead should be based on consideration of factors such as the project's context e.g. diversity of stakeholders, their relationship to locality or neighbourhood, scale, sensitivity, complexity, client requirements, program, and budget.
It is essential to assess whether the client team, design team, specialist practitioner, or facilitator is the most suitable candidate for this role. They must have effective communication skills and adaptability; key attributes for the engagement lead to navigate the evolving dynamics of the project and its stakeholders.
The emphasis should be on promoting a collaborative approach to engagement that involves multiple disciplines.
