Multistakeholder Convening & Management

Helping partnerships make good on their potential, for transformative results on the ground.


Multi-stakeholder initiatives are powerful in theory and exhausting in practice. Without a dedicated operational backbone, governance lapses, communications become inconsistent, partners disengage, and the initiative drifts. Funders grow frustrated. Leads get burned out. The original ambition fades into a series of reports that no one reads. Organizations rarely have the internal capacity to run a coalition and deliver their core mission simultaneously.

Resonance manages complex coalitions for long-term sustainability and impact. We ensure you have the right stakeholders at the table, stand up new multi-stakeholder coalitions, and support partnerships that are losing momentum.  

Governance Design & Management

We build the governance structures — decision-making frameworks, working group charters, accountability mechanisms — that allow complex coalitions to function without constant friction. Then we manage them, so you don't have to.

Stakeholder Communications & Relationship Management

We act as an objective third party and partnership champion to coordinate activities, manage communications, navigate tensions before they become conflicts, and keep key stakeholders engaged and informed.

Operational Coordination & Compliance

From managing workplans and reporting requirements to ensuring compliance for funder reporting, we act as the operational core of your initiative — an objective, professional, and deeply experienced team that treats your partnership with rigor and grace.

“Resonance has been a key partner in building a close, highly effective team across 4 organizations, whilst also expertly managing the project.” 

- Jonathan Gill, Sustainability Director, Unilever
