PM Collective - Stakeholder Management Strategies

Stakeholder Management Strategies
Every project has stakeholders—but managing them well can make the difference between smooth progress and constant roadblocks. In this PM Collective session, we’ll talk about real-world strategies for figuring out who your stakeholders are, what they care about, and how to keep them engaged without getting overwhelmed.
We’ll share stories, swap lessons learned, and explore approaches that help:
- Prioritize the voices that matter most.
- Keep communication clear and consistent.
- Turn tough stakeholder dynamics into opportunities for stronger partnerships.
Come ready to share your experiences and walk away with practical tips you can put to work on your next project.
