Stakeholder involvement processes need to be tailored according to the needs of the local authorities, yet consisting of good basic principles of participatory democracy. The process is transparent and inclusive. It supports the decision-making, offers feedback immediately and makes decisions more binding. The understanding of complicated issues and conflicting arguments increases. The overall interest towards sustainable development is likely to be improved. There are several methods for the cities to use and these will be analyzed and tested during the project.
In municipal decision-making all relevant internal stakeholders (different departments) and external stakeholders (NGO’s, politicians, citizens, private enterprises etc.) should be involved already in defining the problems. Stakeholder involvement is an inseparable element of integrated management system. It is a good governance principle – highly respected but underused. The results of the project will enable all the local authorities to use stakeholders at all levels.
A lesson on how to conduct Stakeholder Management for a project in any industry. Project stakeholders are extremely important to project success. Knowing how to adequately management their expectations and influence on the project is very essential for the project manager.
Optimise-GB provides you with a presentation on stakeholder engagement and management. Why is it that change initiatives, programmes and projects fail? Some might say that the project has been wrongly defined or executed poorly. There are other reasons why change initiatives fail: poor communication and a lack of engagement with stakeholders. This presentation provides some insights of how you can identify stakeholders, understand their issues and concerns, how to effectively communicate with people and how to resolve conflict to ensure buy in. There are a number of tools and techniques within this presentation. If you have any questions on simon@optimise-gb.com and visit www.optimise-gb.com for more details. Many thanks Simon Misiewicz
6 best practices in stakeholder engagementWayne Dunn
I recently did a piece on 5 mistakes companies make in stakeholder engagement and many of you asked me to give a list of best practices. Here are six.
1. Think Value and Interests – and do it transparently
2. It’s OK to disagree – but, disagree without being disagreeable. And stay curious
3. Do compliance but think and act strategic – check the boxes yes, but that is just the foundation
4. Share the credit, multiply the resources. Find partners!
5. Communicate so you are heard and understood.
6. Define stakeholders broadly and strategically – go beyond compliance

The What If Technique presented by Motivate DesignMotivate Design
Why "What If"...?
The What If Technique tackles the challenge of engaging a creative, disruptive mindset when it comes to design thinking and crafting innovative user experiences.
Thinking disruptively is a disruptive thing to do, which means it's a very hard thing to do, especially when you add in risk-averse business leaders and company cultures, who hold on tight to psychological blocks, corporate lore, and excuse personas that stifle creativity and possibilities (see www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for more details).
The What If Technique offers key steps, tools and examples to help you achieve incremental changes that promote disruptive thinking, overcome barriers to creativity, and lead to big, innovative differences for business leaders, companies, and ultimately user experiences and products.
Let's find out what's what together! Explore your "What Ifs" with us. See www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for details about the What If Technique, studio workshops, the book, case studies and more downloads--including a the sample chapter "Corporate Lore and Blocks to Creativity"
