About the SMSPLS Program
Projects rarely fail on technical grounds alone; they fail when the people around them are not managed. The program covers stakeholder identification, influence mapping, engagement planning, communication and the handling of resistance through the project life cycle. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual, it leaves project teams able to map who matters, agree how each group will be engaged and keep support steady from approval to handover.
What You Will Learn
- Identify stakeholders across the full project life cycle
- Assess influence, interest and attitude of each group
- Build an engagement plan with named owners
- Design communication suited to each stakeholder group
