Target Audience
Experienced Project Managers and Team Leads who want to achieve more positive outcomes with external stakeholders (such as sponsors, customers and users) through improved communication, higher levels of engagement and stronger collaboration.

Summary
Stakeholders can make or break a project. Engage them and build their trust to achieve project success.

Description/Agenda

It is commonly said that up to 90% of a project manager's time is spent communicating. In this 3-day course, you will upgrade your communication skills to successfully resolve thorny issues that often derail projects. Discover new tools and resources to monitor and control stakeholder engagement. Plus, manage stakeholder expectations and deal with difficult personalities and conflicts of interest. 

You will be able to describe project benefits without sounding technical, so stakeholders buy in. Give relevant status updates to outside vendors and clients to meet their expectations. And, effectively manage remote teams involving stakeholders who are not co-located (i.e. remote location).

  • Build trust and positive relationships with external stakeholders, especially those who are not co-located (i.e. remote location)
