Effective Stakeholder Engagement
Communication by managers within an organisation should be guided by the real needs of stakeholders. This course explores several tools to help identify those real needs and not just work from assumptions. In doing so, organisations can create communication strategies that enable effective engagement with those stakeholders.

Overview
Stakeholder engagement is integral to the success of all projects and major organisational change initiatives, regardless of the size of the project.

This casual approach to stakeholder engagement is one of the most common causes of project failure which could easily be prevented with better planning.
