Effective Stakeholder Management

This practical and interactive workshop will help participants build stronger stakeholder relationships through better communication, influencing and relationship management skills. Participants will consider the different audiences they need to influence, how to prioritise stakeholder relationships and why different stakeholders require different approaches.
