If stakeholders feel that their feedback was considered in the project and they feel that they have been acknowledged, they will be more likely to continue to be supportive of it. This requires constant communication and ensuring that all stakeholders get the information they require in the time they need it. This can be done through multiple channels.
The frequency of communication needs to be tailored to each stakeholder group. For example, CEOs may be more focused on long-term growth and strategic alignment, whereas teams may focus on efficiency improvements. It is also essential to adapt the content to the stakeholders’ needs, avoid technical jargon, and use non-technical language for those with a less technical background.
Information is vital to your acceleration efforts. Meetings, email, project reports, and others are all components of this. Email is an incredibly flexible and customizable tool that can be used to provide updates on projects pictures and news, budget updates and contact information. The next steps, top-level plans and much more can be communicated via email. It can also be used to collect feedback through surveys accelerate communication with stakeholders for M&A and other tools for engagement online.
Meetings are a great opportunity to discuss concerns, issues, and concerns with your key stakeholders. They can be scheduled for daily and weekly, as well as monthly as needed and are an effective method of providing updates in person. It’s also a great way to gain support for your project and to discuss any possible obstacles. Meetings can also be recorded and shared to those who were unable to attend or who require references to the specific conversation. A report on the project’s progress can be used to communicate information to stakeholders. This can be either a straightforward report that provides all relevant information, or a comprehensive report designed for every stakeholder.
