            Navigating Adaptive Challenges in Public Engagement

            This interactive online course equips participants with practical frameworks to navigate complex, high-risk public situations that cannot be resolved through technical fixes alone. Grounded in adaptive leadership and ethical public engagement, the course helps participants diagnose emerging challenges, recognize early warning signs of escalation, and intentionally choose interventions that reduce harm and support productive solutions. Participants will explore how fear, identity, power, and uncertainty shape behavior and apply connection-based strategies to regulate tension rather than suppress it. Using real-world scenarios and adaptive design practices, the course builds professional judgment for responding thoughtfully when situations feel volatile and outcomes are uncertain.

            Learning Objectives: 

            1. Distinguish between technical problems and adaptive challenges in public engagement and organizational contexts.
            2. Diagnose early warning signs of escalation by identifying shifts in emotion, trust, identity threat, and power dynamics.
            3. Apply adaptive leadership principles to regulate tension, slow reactive responses, and create conditions for learning and dialogue.
            4. Select appropriate interventions by distinguishing when control-based responses are necessary and when connection-based approaches are more effective.
            5. Use a structured diagnostic framework to make ethical decisions when authority, time, or clarity is limited.
            6. Employ adaptive design practices—such as testing small, low-risk actions—to learn forward in uncertain or high-stakes situations.
            7. Demonstrate alignment with IAP2 Core Values by supporting informed participation, respecting diverse perspectives, and clearly communicating how engagement input informs decisions.
            8. Increase confidence and professional judgment when navigating emotionally charged or politically sensitive engagement environments.

                Stakeholder Mapping

                August 20, 2026 

                1:00 pm - 4:30 pm Eastern

                This course introduces a powerful, transparent process to identify and analyze key stakeholders for any engagement project – a critical step in an ethical and equity-centered engagement design. After understanding the theory and purpose, participants use short cases to practice stakeholder mapping. They learn how to identify and analyze the full spectrum of stakeholders, with special emphasis on underrepresented stakeholders who need additional outreach/support to ensure inclusive engagement. For each case, the group learns how to “clean” and finalize the map, and then discusses implementation challenges and how to overcome them.

                Learning outcomes:

                • Challenge: Design and implement equity-centered engagement processes for increasingly diverse communities 
                • Critical to success: Robust and comprehensive stakeholder identification and analysis (“stakeholder mapping”)
                • Course combines theory, practice, instructions, templates
                • Participants leave ready to conduct thorough, defensible stakeholder mapping that identifies underrepresented stakeholders, and use the results to plan and successfully implement inclusive engagement 

                  Outline:

                  • Introduction, overview, and grounding
                  • Stakeholder mapping 
                    • Framing 
                    • Process + Practice, Case 1 
                    • IAP2 context: Code of Ethics 
                    • Process + Practice, Case 2
                  •  Close: Reflections, evaluation 

                  Participants receive:

                  • Detailed stakeholder mapping instructions 
                  • Stakeholder mapping templates and examples 
                  • Complete course content and notetaking document
