About this course
No matter what role we have, we all cater to stakeholders. They could be our boss, our customers or our teammates. They could even be our family. However, without analysing who they could be, we could unwittingly damage our relationship with them. This Stakeholder Analysis training will help you understand the reasons behind doing a stakeholder analysis, and why it is beneficial to know who the stakeholders in any process are.
Getting a better idea of people’s motivations for acting the way they do can help you anticipate problems before they arise, ensuring your project or change runs as smoothly as possible.
During this interactive course, you’ll walk through how to complete a stakeholder analysis step by step with a practical example. You’ll also learn about influencing and effective communication, so that you can apply the learning to your own place of work as soon as you’ve completed the course.
You’ll learn key tools for communicating, and how to develop your own communication plan for the change or project you’re overseeing. During the session you’ll also make a start producing a personal stakeholder analysis for your project, change or situation.
