Stakeholder Engagement & Stakeholder Management
Identifying a project’s stakeholders is not always an easy task – it requires recognising all the people that can possibly influence and be influenced by the project’s deployment. These are people who might resist and try to prevent the project; people who should be informed about the project’s objectives and about the project’s benefit to them.
