  • Persuasive communication techniques

Whether it’s a one-on-one with a line manager, or a presentation to the Board, you will quickly understand stakeholder motivation, be able to communicate with impact, and gain the sustainable commitment you need.

Engaging people who are difficult, stubborn and distracted can mean the difference between a successful project which is completed on time and on budget – and a project which saps everyone’s time and energy and costs more than it was intended to.

Stakeholder engagement can appear to be a complex and fluid technique, and it is often confused with processes such as stakeholder management, stakeholder communication, project management and change management.

Simple Steps to Engaging Key Stakeholders

No matter what level you are at, stakeholder engagement is a critical skill and most successful leaders have mastered this capability.

For some leaders, this mastery remains intuitive and for others it is consciously developed through a strategic and systematic approach to stakeholder engagement.

A simple but strategic and holistic approach to stakeholder includes the following key steps:

Step 1. Who are my key stakeholders (and who are they not)?

Step 2. What are they currently thinking, saying, feeling or doing?

Step 3. What do I want them to be saying, feeling, thinking or doing?

Step 4. What strategies can I use to better engage them?
