NESTA's 'the human factor' pamphlet highlights the role of communities in engagement and our work with the Foundation Trust Network has touched on the requirements around local member engagement. I still think that there's a hell of a long way to go on this issue but that it's so important we have to keep trying. In these times where we're recently well-served by (usually private sector) services tailored to be responsive and convenient, the public and third sector have a lot of catching up to do.

Good public engagement has to come from people that know the communities they are working in, or the clients they get. That comes from experience and intimate knowledge, not a handbook. You can tool structures to help foster a mutual engagement, something that design for resourcefulness recognizes and needs to become a wider philosophy. Great post, and an accurate set of bullet points.
