Stakeholder Management

“Insanity : doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." ~ Albert Einstein

Overview

Stakeholder management is a process of recognising the key players within a project or activity and then focusing on how to achieve that best possible outcomes by managing their input, expectations, and skills. A stakeholder can be defined, as any person or organisation whose behaviour or actions will have an impact on the result. How an individual in the organisation works through their Stakeholder Management plan may vary, but a similar underlying process is followed. Engaging the right person at the right time and in the right way is critical to the success of any project.
