View PDF (Print for personal use)

This one day event is designed to help Delegates identify all relevant Stakeholders for their projects. From this identification, Delegates will be shown a structured method for analyzing the importance of the Stakeholders and design appropriate communication plans to address their needs. This is a very practical course, with lots of opportunities for Delegates to use knowledge of their own projects in the exercises. To complete the workshop and give the Delegates an opportunity to apply the structure and the techniques that they have been shown, a case study will be used towards the end of the workshop for further practice.
