Speaker and Social Event - "Stakeholder Engagement"

Learning Outcomes

In this session, you’ll learn why stakeholders are important for project success and how to effectively analyse and map stakeholders using the Power-Interest Grid (Mendelow's Matrix) to assess their level of influence and interest. We’ll discuss strategies to prioritise engagement, manage expectations, and build strong relationships with key stakeholders, setting your project up for success. Whether you're managing a project, leading a team, or driving change, this session will equip you with practical tools to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes.
