MESHSM - Stakeholder Alignment & Engagement
For when project success relies on the effective alignment of disparate stakeholders
How do we do this?
Whatever it takes! We use a mixture of appreciative inquiry, mediation and facilitation
Using one-on-one interviews to understand individual stakeholder’s overall intention and perspective and then by facilitating workshops and break outs to gain consensus and common purpose
Mentoring project sponsors to gain clarity and awareness to enable them to take responsibility and make effective decisions
Hearts and minds’, ‘getting buy in’, ‘being on the same page’... whatever you call it, it’s hard to make something happen if you haven’t got the full buy-in of the people.
What are the benefits?
Project sponsors are given clarity and awareness to enable them to take responsibility and make effective decisions
Stakeholders feel aligned, informed and are therefore motivated
The need for stakeholder management is often recognised too late - inoculation is much easier than cure!
Who is it for?
Where it is already known that there are divergent stakeholders, and success depends on getting them aligned and on board
Where a project activities has discovered some conflicting behaviour and the project is at risk unless they are aligned
