Insight
Scottish Land Commission is a public body that’s driving a programme of land reform spanning both urban and rural land, to improve the productivity, diversity and accountability of the way Scotland’s land is owned and used. It has a very wide range of stakeholders, from land reform campaigners and tenant farmers, to land owners, NGOs and other government bodies.
Idea
Discovering – and analysing – how Land Commission’s role, remit and work is regarded by its various audiences is a vital tool in determining how best to focus limited resources to achieve maximum impact. We carried out a perception audit over six weeks, conducting qualitative research (in depth, unattributed phone interviews with around 20 senior stakeholders) and quantitative (Survey Monkey online survey) to gather insight.
Impact
Our report which contains candid views and challenging advice, was considered so useful it was presented to the Land Commission’s Board. The recommendations in it will help shape the communications strategy that will underpin the Commission’s next three year strategic plan.
