In this webinar Benedict Pinches, of the APM Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, will put forward his views on this important area and why we all need to take Stakeholder Engagement very seriously.

Projects can no longer be just about delivering value for shareholders, as was the case in the 20th century.

Shareholders are just one group in a complex web of project stakeholders, who have become more widespread, diverse, and difficult to identify.

Stakeholders were never easy to ‘manage’.  Stakeholder engagement suggests managing the project for this wide stakeholder audience.

However, stakeholder engagement is not easy, because all projects involve people whose behaviour can change over the course of a project. Additionally, stakeholders have competing scripts and differing objectives.

With huge technological change, environmental issues and complex mega projects that cross continents and involve multiple contractors, stakeholder engagement becomes an essential element for project success.

Based on theory, academic thought and Benedict’s own experience as a programme manager, this webinar will put forward the arguments about why stakeholder engagement matters; and why a project cannot be successful without effective stakeholder engagement.

Presenter: Benedict Pinches (LinkedIn profile) has been a programme management contractor for over 20 years and has worked in sectors as diverse as energy, telecoms, technology and education. He specialises in the organisation design for large business transformations, but has also led property consolidation programmes and strategic PMO set ups.

Quite simply, mindfulness allows all employees to harness their natural capacity to pay attention rather than give in to rumination or distraction.

The increase in self-awareness, which arises from mindfulness, can make a huge difference in personal performance and emotional intelligence.

Mindfulness in the workplace has been shown to reduce stress and lower turnover and health care costs, while increasing performance, relational and leadership skills.

Explore how mindfulness works with Gayle Van Gils (LinkedIn profile) author of Happier at Work: The Power of Love to Transform the Workplace and how it can be trained by looking at simple mindful practices to use immediately at work and learning the many benefits of bringing mindfulness training to your organization.

These benefits include increasing employee engagement, increasing one’s capacity for emotional resilience, learning how to work with stress and difficult situations, and how to transform your culture to one of greater creativity, collaboration and joy.
