Stakeholder engagement

To achieve your goals successfully, it's crucial to engage the right people at the right time. Stakeholders are key players who not only feel the impact of decisions but also have the power to steer or influence change. While some will champion your cause, others may challenge it.

Effective stakeholder engagement training equips you to bring the right people to the table and shape constructive conversations. This stakeholder engagement course gives you a deeper understanding of how decisions and interpersonal dynamics influence the implementation of your plans.

The following subjects are covered:

• How to conduct a detailed Stakeholder Analysis
• Understanding stakeholders’ perspectives
• Building trust among stakeholders
• How to exert influence
• Dealing with conflicts
• Handling organisational politics
• Drafting your own stakeholder engagement plan

This Stakeholder Engagement course is based on experiential learning, where you will ‘learn by doing’. You will set your own learning goals, participate in exercises tailored to your situation and challenges and learn from working with other participants to address common challenges. The programme offers a diverse range of activities, including discussion, theory, practice, analysis, roleplay, feedback, reading, reflection and action planning.

Target audience

This stakeholder engagement training is for anyone who needs to engage with stakeholders and manage that process more proactively. If you are interested in enhancing your understanding of your stakeholders and gaining a fuller awareness of the dynamics at play, this course is for you. Along the way, you’ll learn to improve the impact and effectiveness of your communication when engaging with stakeholders, even in challenging situations.
