Stakeholder engagement (not management) is one of the factors considered to be critical for project success, yet it is under-represented in the bodies of knowledge and other “best practice” standards and methodologies.

As one of the “soft skills” it is often left to be implemented at the discretion of the project manager and their team, and therefore is under-resourced. It is often responsive, rather than pro-active.

Based upon current research and recent case studies, this webinar will provide an overview of the International Association for Public Participation spectrum (IAP2) and discuss when each element of the spectrum could and should be applied.

Kenn Dolan will present some of the key practices and techniques applied to the engagement of stakeholders and communities.

1. Are your projects plagued by problems such as unresponsive business stakeholders, unclear expectations, pointing fingers, missed deadlines?
2. Do project critical business decisions seem to take forever?

These common issues can cause high stress and frustration, repeated mistakes, wasted time, and rework.

• Do your stakeholders then wonder why “IT didn’t get it right”?

Business stakeholders sometimes see IT work as the “black box,” the unknown. Coupled with their own work demands, there can be a tendency to hang back and think “IT will make it happen.”

In this webinar, we will cover ways to increase the level of business engagement and ownership on your projects.

• Learn how to proactively design more successful outcomes while building credibility and enhancing relationships with your business community.

It’s easy to say “thank you” for a job well done, right?
Doesn’t showing appreciation come naturally, especially to leaders?

Not necessarily. While most leaders (and peers) want to recognize great work when it happens, so many things can go wrong.

Not everyone knows why recognition is important, when to give recognition, or the best way to do it.

In fact, there are plenty of horror stories of recognition and appreciation gone wrong. And there are common, preventable mistakes that led to each of these stories. Companies that avoid these mistakes can use recognition to appreciate and inspire their people and create a company culture where employees thrive.

Join Todd Nordstrom, (LinkedIn profile) Director at the O.C. Tanner Institute, as he shares some recognition horror stories and common mistakes that led to them.

You’ll walk away with best practices in employee recognition and connecting with your people.
