Involving the right people in the right way

Want to share feedback about the podcast? It would be much appreciated. 3 min survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/N72QP67

A decision stakeholder is anyone who is involved in or affected by your decision.

There are three different types of stakeholders: - Those who decide with you, or you require their buy-in or resources to successfully implement the decision; - Those who are affected by the decision directly or indirectly; and - Those who advise by offering you different, diverse and relevant expertise and experience.

These 3 types are not mutually exclusive either, and a person can fulfil any combination of the 3 roles.

Your task for today is to spend 10-15 minutes deciding who to involve and how. Consider: - Who is accountable for implementation success? - Who controls the resources required to implement successfully? - Who is affected in someway and should be consulted? - Who has the relevant and diverse expertise and experience to advise? Then decide how you want to involve these people: - In what setting should you engage them? 1-1, small group or large group. - How will you weigh their input? - When will you involve them? - And what information should you give them?
