Stakeholder Engagement helps us understand what people involved with a project want, and how to engage them to help achieve project success. For both new and experienced project managers, a big challenge is where to go for guidance on the topic.
The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, part of the APM People SIG, has started to collate stakeholder engagement resources on the APM Website.
This webinar provides an overview of the information and tools currently available and how you can help add to and improve this facility.
There are many reasons why projects may struggle to meet their goals but a lack of effective stakeholder engagement is widely acknowledged to be one of the main issues.
The Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group (SEFG), now part of the APM People SIG, was established to encourage practitioners to make stakeholder engagement a higher priority.
The first project for the SEFG was to start collating stakeholder engagement resources.
The aim is to support project professionals by sharing case studies, creating an introduction to the key principles of stakeholder engagement, and pointing to relevant and useful reference materials.
In this webinar Fran and Ian will introduce the Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group, provide an update on the SEFG’s progress to date and the materials available on the APM site, and plans for improving and building on these resources.

Call for case studies:
Another important message from the webinar was a request for case studies.
