Project HEADWAY: Stakeholder Perceptions Are Everything
This presentation is supporting material for this video.
Project managers have a variety of audiences that they are answerable to. Sponsors, steering committees, PMOs, auditors and so very many more. Ensuring success means addressing and being able to respond to the expectations of a spectrum of roles.
There is no audience more important to satisfy, however, than the one that is defined most generally: stakeholders. In the world of project success, it is their perceptions and their viewpoints that fundamentally make the difference between far-and-away success and fearful failure.
Responding to stakeholder perceptions and delivering on their expectations is essential. Doing this is hard. Doing this well is a next-level challenge. Navigating the world of stakeholders perceptions and expectations and responding to them effectively is an essential focus. It requires time, effort and focus. It also requires deft communication skills and a healthy dose of political astuteness.
For the successful project managers, embracing stakeholders and responding to them well is essential. This webinar outlines the strategies to positively engage with your stakeholders in ways that will best position you for continued success. If you struggle with the balancing act of coordinating stakeholder desires (and who doesn’t) this webinar is for you.
