Stakeholder Management: The Elevator of Commitment
People make projects succeed. Learn how to identify critical stakeholders and engage them throughout the successful delivery of your project.
Projects and programmes operate in a complex and interdependent universe of internal and external stakeholders. They do not succeed in isolation. Project teams that succeed, know how to plan and execute communication tactics to maintain the right level of stakeholder commitment throughout project delivery. Knowing where and when to put the appropriate level of communication effort saves time and effort and delivers results.
The tools and techniques taught on this course have been developed based on many years of practical stakeholder management experience. Attendees learn simple approaches that work.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of an external focus and context awareness
- Put the appropriate effort into managing stakeholders to achieve project success
- Create an efficient stakeholder plan for each project
- Create a one page description of their own project
