Stakeholder engagement and stakeholder management are the most important ingredients for successful project delivery

 and yet are often regarded as a fringe activity or one that can be outsourced to business-as-usual functions. Project managers depend on people to respond to the outputs and benefits they deliver. People will only respond if they are engaged.

Workshop Overview

The success of the project is contingent on a few factors including and very importantly keeping the stakeholders satisfied. We cannot please everyone; nevertheless, identifying the major stakeholders that can affect one or more initiatives outcomes in a positive or negative manner, and seeking to earn their buy-in is quintessential. The workshop is a walkthrough over proper guidelines to maintain proper stakeholder engagement.

A project manager is often evaluated according to his/her mastery of stakeholder management. This is such an important topic that PMI has added a stakeholder management knowledge area to the PM body of knowledge (PMBOK). In this course, several tools and techniques will be covered and activities around best practices will be performed in groups. In addition, the participants will be introduced to tricks of the trade that have been a great investment to executives in mega-regional projects.
