Season 5 - Episode 43 - Stakeholder Engagement: Are You Creating Unnecessary Friction in Your Projects?

What if one of the biggest risks to your project isn't your technology, budget or timeline, but the people you forgot to involve?

Poor stakeholder engagement can create unnecessary friction, missed dependencies, duplicated effort and last-minute project crises.

And the frustrating part? Many of these problems are entirely preventable.

In this episode of Next Level Change Success, Therese explores why effective stakeholder engagement and communication are essential to successful change management and how a simple three-tier approach can make your projects run more smoothly.

You'll discover:

• Why excluding stakeholders can create significant delivery risks.

• How to use the Informed, Consulted and Engaged model.

• Why your communication frequency should change as go-live approaches.

• How stakeholder mapping and impact assessments work together.

• Why mature organisations use enterprise stakeholder mapping to reduce duplication and improve project delivery.

• Practical ways to strengthen your stakeholder engagement strategy immediately.

Whether you're a project manager, business analyst, change practitioner or leader, this episode will help you rethink how you involve people in change.

Because sometimes the conversation you avoid today becomes the crisis you manage tomorrow.
