You Will Learn How To:
- Engage and manage different levels of stakeholder - inside and outside your organisation
- Develop positive relationship management skills for long-term success.
- Manage difficult or complex stakeholder groups.
- Practice people skills in a project, through the medium of meetings, emails, phone calls and the media
Course Outline
The one-day Managing Stakeholders simulation brings to life the universal leadership challenge of gaining buy-in and approval across a range of interested parties with often different and conflicting interests. Building your knowledge in the ‘soft’ skills of project management as well as testing your ‘hard’ project skills.
It simulates many of the issues associated with corporate responsibility, including how to define the ultimate success criteria of projects and the value of reputation. Teams of three people go through the experience together, allowing them to verbalise, reflect and learn from the decisions they make and their results.
