Stakeholder Engagement course

Do you find yourself struggling to get time with stakeholders? Have you been blindsided by someone saying they should have been involved but you don't even know who they are? Are projects taking longer because no one will commit to anything?

Engaging stakeholders properly is the answer.

Getting stakeholders onboard is key to making progress and dealing with conflicting priorities. Learn how to create great working relationships with stakeholders that will last for years.

During this training, you'll learn:

The stakeholder lifecycle and why it matters
How to identify the people you don't even know exist
What engagement really is and how to do it
How to deal with 'difficult' and navigate tricky office politics.

This training focuses on how to build, manage and maintain relationships with project stakeholders at all levels. You'll also get some templates to help you put your learning into practice.

You will get access to the recordings and transcripts of a course that was taught live in February 2023.
