STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
Stakeholder engagement plans that drive change and facilitate project buy-in.
In some key sectors and for critical, contentious, or large-scale projects, engaging with stakeholders is vital throughout the design, planning and construction phases. Stakeholder engagement starts with stakeholder mapping – identifying the internal and external stakeholders that should be engaged – and follows with a structured yet flexible program of activity to communicate with individuals and groups.
