Stakeholder engagement

To be effective in a world of change, it is essential to involve the right people at the right time. Stakeholders include those people who may be affected by decisions as well as those who can drive or influence implementation of change. Some will be supportive and others may oppose. 

In any case, it is vital to engage people who are influential in the organization or community in which they operate. Stakeholder engagement promotes a better understanding of the possible impact of decisions and influences the success of their implementation.

The following subjects are covered:

• Stakeholder Analysis
• Understanding the stakeholder’s perspective
• Building trust 
• Influencing 
• Dealing with conflict
• Dealing with organizational politics
• Stakeholder engagement plan

This course is based on learning by doing. You will identify your own learning goals and do various exercises where you work on your own situation and own challenges. You will also learn from working with other participants on their situations. The program is varied with discussion, theory, practice, analysis, roleplay, feedback, reading, reflection and action planning.

Target audience

Your work involves engaging with stakeholders and you would like to manage that process more proactively.  You want to develop your understanding of your stakeholders and what is going on in your situation. You would also like to improve the impact and effectiveness of your communication when you are engaging with stakeholders, including in challenging situations.
