Stakeholder Management

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]here’s an accepted wisdom in project management that there is no benefit to delivering a project on time, to budget and to quality if the stakeholders do not get the business benefit or outcome they are expecting.

This is where alignment of projects to the strategic plan becomes important.  If the project does not have strategic context it will be challenging for the project to successfully execute and deliver the desired business outcomes.

This is where stakeholder management becomes critical.

For the project to be successful it will need to sell the project to the business stakeholders, manage their expectations, and obtain commitment of business resource and business decision making in support of the project.

This is more easily done where the project is strongly linked or aligned to the strategic plan.

If we’ve helped you develop your strategic plan we are optionally able to help you to:

  • Provide the project team with strategic context from a business stakeholders viewpoint
  • Develop a stakeholder engagement plan
  • Develop related stakeholder communications and assist with stakeholder briefings
  • Be part of business stakeholder steering groups and attend stakeholder meetings to continue to provide strategic context and alignment for the project

If NineDots has not helped develop your strategic plan, we can review existing projects for you, re-visit your stakeholder engagement approach, and assist with the above.

Call us and we can sit down to explore your needs.
