Episode 012; Who is the most challenging stakeholder I have come across and how did I manage the situation?
Based on my 15 year experience, it’s hard to select just one. Every project is different and you come across various stakeholders but below are 3 stakeholders that stand out to me at this moment intime.
It is important that you understand the purpose, what is in it for the stakeholder you are finding a challenge and them and their role and responsibilities on the change initiative. This helps sets the tone and how you manage the stakeholder. The above is easy to say, but you will find it’s not that straight forward when you listen to the episode.
Scope of episode:
The episode uses and provides real examples based on my 15 years of experience working on projects and change initiatives.
Contractors/consultancy firms: Don’t want to leave and therefore make the transition to BAU more difficult than it should be.
New Leaders: Those who have just been promoted to leadership roles. This group drives me mad.
Internal Audit: I struggle to find the value they bring to a transformation project, although I do feel they have a place to add value to the transformation by seconding some of their resources during project phase for their team members to learn and build on their knowledge. All we get is a report on documentation.
