Overview
In any business enterprise, the key decisions made are often based on considerations pertaining to the stakeholders. This is because stakeholders in an organization can impact or be impacted by the overall business direction pursued as and when decisions are made.
To ensure that the interests of all stakeholders are met as far as possible, it would be necessary to categorize and manage stakeholders continually and systematically. Failing to do so would frustrate attempts to make changes deemed to be necessary for the success of the organization.
This course focuses on developing the necessary competencies of managers in stakeholder management. It provides a sound framework for undertaking stakeholder management through stakeholder needs assessment and provides participants with a structured approach towards addressing these needs. The course includes a thorough description on how to develop a stakeholder management plan.
