Successful Stakeholder Partnerships (SSP) - 1/2-day Workshop

Organisations live and die by the effectiveness of their internal and external relationships. Time and again however, bad relationships result in project failures or roadblocks – with no one able to pinpoint or rectify the causes. Project Managers, Consultants, Organisational Change Managers, Advisors, Business Managers etc. make up the complex mix of stakeholders for which partnering has become problematic.

To prevent this we need a means for understanding how shared value can be effectively negotiated between all stakeholders.  Additionally we need a method for tracking relationship health over time. Value Network Analysis (VNA) allows us to identify critical tangible and intangible value flows between stakeholder roles. In this way each role clearly understands what it is accountable for, and to whom, and visa versa. A partnership scorecard can then be used to monitor the health of all stakeholder relationships over time.  If problems are encountered they can be resolved at the role to role level, avoiding the finger-pointing or blame-shifting which too often occurs between departments or with suppliers.

In this 1/2-day, interactive workshop you will learn to how to use and apply the VNA technique and to create a partnership scorecard.  You'll learn how to identify the tangible and intangible success factors that turn relationships into successful partnerships.
