Stakeholder Management
Who needs to know what, and when
Every project has stakeholders who can accelerate it or stop it. This course covers how to map stakeholders by influence and interest, how to tailor communication to each quadrant, and how to manage the conversations that determine whether your work gets implemented or shelved. Practical, not theoretical — built for analysts and programme managers who need to navigate real organisational dynamics.
Framework: Stakeholder Management
