Stakeholder Management 101 | Online
About this workshop
Whether you’re in a nimble startup or a large incumbent business, it’s essential to generate a steady stream of new ideas, products and services to survive and thrive. But for those ideas to be successful, you need to convince, cajole and communicate with other people: bosses, colleagues, finance departments, suppliers, investors and customers.
In this evening workshop you’ll learn how to get buy-in for new ideas and ventures, overcome common challenges, and manage the human side of business development. This workshop would be ideal for anybody aiming to work in business development, currently growing a business, department or team, or looking to be an‘intrapraneur’ within an existing business.
