If stakeholders matter on projects, then they must make a
difference to the way we plan, structure, and execute projects.
This book provides a stakeholder-centric analysis of projects, and
explains which engagement models are relevant to different types of
projects-from simple office moves to IT enterprise changes, to
transformational change of a business, and to complex social
development. With case studies from around the world, the book
illustrates what goes wrong when stakeholders are not engaged
successfully, what amazing things happen when they are, and what
lessons can be learned from both experiences. Cases drawn from a
variety of contexts are used to demonstrate the application of
stakeholder tools, leaving the reader with a very practical
understanding of which techniques may be beneficially applied to
their own projects. Key models introduced include the following: •
The stakeholder-neutral to stakeholder-led project continuum •
Role-based and agenda-based stakeholders • Purposeful
communication-the 6-why model for communication • Power and
influence in projects • The six principles of stakeholder
engagement. This book is intended for project managers and those
project staff involved in the engagement of stakeholders to deliver
successful project outcomes.
