Dialogue Product Guide
Everything you need to understand how Dialogue from Delib helps public sector organisations run structured, constructive conversations online, from national policy discussions to closed stakeholder engagement.
Dialogue is a digital platform built for deliberative engagement. Where consultation tools collect responses, Dialogue creates genuine conversation, giving participants the space to share ideas, build on each other's contributions, and surface consensus through ratings.
It's used by public bodies around the world, from national governments to local councils, for everything from large-scale public engagement to focused discussions with specialist stakeholders.
This guide gives you a clear picture of what Dialogue does, how it works, and what it looks like in practice.
