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.

Start and end measurement

This course improves your skills. We can guarantee that. How? Before you start your course, you take a scan. This determines your starting level and helps set the right goals. You receive a personal report. That way, you know exactly where you stand, what you want to accomplish, and how to get there. Your trainer helps you to focus and develop, in order to reach your full potential. After your training is done, you take another scan. This end measurement shows how much you’ve grown, and where you can still develop your skills further.

The total duration of the training course is 6 weeks. The training course consists of an online kick-off and 2 blocks of 1 day. Your time investment is approximately two hours of self study a week: theoretical and practical through the MijnSN learning community.
