Stakeholder management enables the different members of a project
team or (more powerfully) different individuals in a supply chain to improve
their capability to work towards common goals. Stakeholder management is
collaborative management, in which we bring together the stakeholders around
a particular project and identify and acknowledge their differing perspectives.
The direct benefit of stakeholder management is in aligning the actions
of particular stakeholders towards their common goals.
Stakeholder management activity builds trust between individuals as well as sustainable capability in the organisation.
The stakeholder game - the main component of this stakeholder management master class - is designed to help people to experience stakeholder management in a workshop environment and to relate it to current practice in their own workplace. Participants in the master class take on stakeholder roles in a case study.

Aidan has been a risk management consultant with Antelope
since 1995. Prior to that he was a software engineering management consultant
with Coherent Technology, after an early career as a research consultant
in seismic geophysics.
Aidan developed Antelope's Scimitar Risk Management System to allow clients to achieve business objectives in the presence of risk. Unlike most risk management approaches, Scimitar deals with the responsiveness of the organisation and its management system rather than trying to quantify the detailed risks. Aidan has led risk programmes to board level with organisations including Tesco, BT MNS, Lloyds of London, Norwich Union Healthcare and Willis Corroon. |
| Session: Case study 75 minutes | Level: intermediate |

The master class will be led by a principal of Antelope Projects (Susannah Finzi or Aidan Ward)
The “case” is outlined and the objectives identified.
A brief brainstorm identifies some risks to the objectives.
Divide into teams and assign roles. Prompted by questions from the session leader
- stakeholders within teams identify their different
positions/perspectives and
- negotiate actions
The output is stakeholder maps and action plans on flip charts – one
for each team - to which all stakeholders in the team have signed up.
