Preparing for projects in a Post-Pandemic World

Will your stakeholder positions change? How and what can you do about monitoring and influencing their positions during lockdown and beyond?

When working remotely, it is easy to forget that our stakeholders are more than just the team and the people we work directly with. What about those crucial agenda-based stakeholders; those who have an interest and influence on the outcomes of our projects?

In this webinar Louise will:

  • Clarify the difference between role-based and agenda-based stakeholders on your projects
  • Explore why and how engagement differs between these groups
  • Look at formal and informal communications, why they both matter
  • Discuss the challenges of creating and maintaining relationships remotely
  • Share approaches to stakeholder analysis
  • Look at engagement approaches for those in support of your project, those opposing your project and those who just don’t care.

These concerns are challenging in the normal project environment. In this webinar we look at the additional problems, and opportunities, afforded through the current lock-down situation and beyond.
