OVERVIEWIn this session, we will learn about some of the theory and frameworks behind stakeholder engagement, identify your projects' interested parties (or "shareholders") and analyze the roles they might play in the success of your project. At the end of the session, fellows and their supervisors will walk away with the start of a customized, actionable stakeholder engagement plan.
PRE-WORK / BEFORE THE SESSION
Please read “
Friend, Foe, Ally, Adversary…Or Something Else?”
As you read: Reflect on each of the mistakes identified in the reading. Try to think of an example from your work life for at least two. How did a relationship misclassification impact you, your work, and/or your team?
Consider the project your organization will undertake for the fellowship. Begin to think broadly about those who will be engaged in, impacted by, or decision makers for the work. How would you start to classify them.
