Overview
The success of a new school project or policy depends on effective engagement and management of key stakeholders, including staff and parents. Doing it right can save a lot of time, money and resources. However, getting it wrong can set your project and strategic objectives back.
Attend our Effective Stakeholder Management course to create a dynamic plan to preserve relationships with your stakeholders. Learn how to resolve conflict, build strong relationships and overcome unforeseen obstacles that may arise.
Through practical exercises and group discussions, develop the knowledge and skills to identify and map key stakeholders, effectively manage conversations and evaluate stakeholder relationships.
Our virtual courses have been designed with you in mind. From group exercises in breakout rooms to live chat, whiteboards and interactive polls, we use a range of tools and techniques to ensure that you can connect with your trainer; network and share best practice with your peers and leave the day with the skills you need.
Please note we will use Zoom to deliver this course
