As organizations pursue their strategic goals, they likely maintain a project portfolio that is a mix of stable, definable projects built on proven procedures in addition to the more risky and undefined projects that are meant to create new products, services, or capabilities.
Project managers who can deliver results in an iterative fashion, with a high level of stakeholder involvement and increased customer feedback loops, are the first choice for these project assignments. That is because they demonstrate facility with the new tools of the agile project manager.

Picking the right methodology for the job
Choosing what skills and relationships to enhance
Understanding how project planning, tracking, and team management work in these hybrid settings

However, sometimes, we find ourselves faced with challenging conversations that require finesse and skill to handle. This talk, we will delve into the art of engaging in difficult discussions while also safeguarding our professional integrity.
Throughout the project lifecycle, project leaders often encounter situations where they must initiate or participate in tough conversations with various stakeholders, customers, team members, and other involved parties.
These conversations may range from addressing conflicts and disputes to becoming the messenger of undesirable news that can expose us to potential backlash.
On the other hand, some project leaders may intentionally introduce a level of non-hostile positive conflict to encourage innovative thinking and creativity within the project.
In this engaging session will provide valuable insights and actionable strategies to empower project leaders to navigate such challenging conversations effectively.
Marion will share practical tips on how to approach these situations with confidence, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both the project and our colleagues.

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:

To help the SEFG support other practitioners, project managers are encouraged to provide case studies about their stakeholder engagement experience, tips and recommendations. If you have a case study to share, use the template provided below and send it to: SEFG@apm.org.uk.
