Introduction

This GLOMACS Advanced Stakeholder Management training course will sharpen your skills in confidently managing stakeholder relationships. The contemporary world of work revolves around stakeholders – suppliers, customers, employees, shareholders, financiers and many more, Project working typically increases the span and quantity of stakeholders, because of the indirect reporting lines, which often cross functional or even organizational boundaries. In the old days, management by command and control was effective and got things done, but these days, much more is required in terms of analyzing the relationships with the high priority stakeholders and managing them productively.

By attending this training course, you will gain insights from short and specific theory blocks covering good practices, interactive exercises simulating stakeholder management situations, case study analysis, interpreting video materials and much more. You will also learn how to use Reflective Practice to analyze stakeholder encounters, following a helpful process that leads to the creation of powerful lessons that you can apply to your future work, to increase your effectiveness and increase your ability to impress people at all levels of an organization.

This Advanced Stakeholder Management training course will highlight:
