Description

ENGAGING AND INFLUENCING STAKEHOLDERS OVERVIEW
Stakeholders/clients understand the why behind a project. The why defines the purpose. Engaging, influencing and keeping buy-in from key stakeholders are the most important activities a program or project manager needs to undertake. Programs, project deliverables, budgets and growth can quickly be undermined if there is poor stakeholder engagement and minimal buy-in. Yet there is very little information available to address their critical skill sets.

The Mastering Stakeholder Engagement™ (MSE) workshop is specifically designed to help Program and Project Managers understand the roles, skills and activities to allow them to better drive client success as well as build a viable set of tools and techniques to better manage communications with the customer and other stakeholders.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT PROGRAM MANAGERS DEVELOP KEY CLIENT ENGAGEMENT SKILLS?

The Need to Manage Stakeholders/Clients
The Ability to Manage Communication
The Necessity to Manage Scope
The Skill to Manage Expectations
The Ability to Develop Organic Program Growth
The Responsibility to Keep Programs Sold
The Improved Ability to Gather Intelligence

Leave with an improved arsenal of fundamental stakeholder/client engagement skills and techniques that will help you improve stakeholder/client management as well as your fundamental communications skills in your every day dealings with people.
