In this interactive webinar,  Christa will explore:

• Key components of high-impact feedback
• The critical connection between feedback and employee engagement
• A neuroscience perspective on feedback
• Emotions as the gatekeepers to rational thought

The best project managers know that managing the expectations, goals and objectives of key stakeholders is critical to project success.

If the stakeholders aren’t satisfied, even the most efficient and well-executed project won’t be deemed successful in the eyes of those that matter most.

The best way to ensure stakeholder needs are met is to establish them up front, along with clear and mutually agreed upon communication and project completion requirements.

By considering stakeholder perceptions while developing the project charter and project plan, you can avoid unnecessary readjustments during project execution.

Bonnie will review:

• How to initiate projects that help your organization achieve its goals
• How to develop a project charter and a project management plan
• How to identify and analyze project stakeholders and determine their information needs and communication requirements
• How to manage stakeholder expectations and ensure their satisfaction
