Effective Stakeholder Engagement in Complex Projects

*A minimum number of 12 participants applies.

Skilled complex project leaders who can develop a more meaningful relationship with stakeholders are needed to successfully deliver complex projects and projects being delivered in complex environments. The practice of interacting with stakeholders around projects needs to expand from a focus on stakeholder management – and a view of stakeholders simply as entities to be ‘communicated with’, ‘changed’ or ‘managed’ – to a focus on genuine stakeholder engagement. Here stakeholders are acknowledged as entities with legitimate interests and rights that require authentic engagement and co-creation so that the project creates optimal value for all stakeholders.

The ICCPM course enabled a framework for me to help communicate a more adaptive approach to our decision, collaborative and management processes. Highly recommended for all staff and not just project managers.

The ICCPM Effective Stakeholder Engagement in Complex Projects is a really great 3-day course that extends on general project and business management by introducing concepts that you’d not normally be exposed to. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their ability to respond to complex business scenarios.

I found this course very helpful in providing me with tools I can use in my project to improve our stakeholder interactions and assessment of the current status of our project which will also help us to progress to a healthier position.

Great conceptual course for thinking about stakeholder engagement in complex project environments. The mix of theory and discussion (practice) was useful and helped bring different perspectives to the projects we were working with.

Course Participant, 2021

The ability to listen to other course participants experiences and how the course material is related to real world circumstances – this is something that cannot be obtained from learning materials.

Course Participant, 2021

Excellent content and delivery. The course offered a good breakdown into sections to help process information and concepts more easily.

Course Participant, 2021

Effective Stakeholder Engagement in Complex Projects gets to the heart of why and how effective communication, collaboration, culture and stakeholder engagement are critical to the success of complex projects. The practical tools and concepts discussed are informative, as is the opportunity to hear from other project managers on their experience in dealing with complex project environments.
