What’s your great big project that is going to require buy-in from a group of stakeholders, shareholders and community members? How are you going to demonstrate that you engaged with the audience in a meaningful way, and how are you going to respond to their ideas and concerns?
That’s called stakeholder engagement and it starts with mapping who these folks are, what they currently think about you, and what would move them to support you in your endeavour.
Once you get to know your stakeholders, the next step is preparing an engagement plan that meets them in the appropriate way, with the necessary information and at a frequency builds strong relations. Building a robust plan, and then working that plan, is the road to community engagement that is viewed as predictable, fulsome and fair. This is also the route to uncovering objections early and building community support.
For your next big project, prepare for success by working with Your Voice Consulting – and give your stakeholders a voice in building something great together.
