Enhance your competencies in interpersonal skills, communication and stakeholder management

A stakeholder is an individual, group or organization that is impacted by the outcome of a business venture or project. The stakeholder has an interest in the success of a project, and can be internal or external to the organization. Stakeholder management is a project management process. It involves understanding what the internal and external stakeholders want and need, managing their expectations as well as the relationships with them. In this course, we learn how to improve stakeholder management effectiveness by analyzing relevant cases, theories, and real-life examples

Executive Programs is committed to respecting the concerns and sensitivities of all individuals and communities. We recognize that the use of certain terms, such as ‘stakeholder,’ can have historical, cultural, and social implications and connotations, particularly when it pertains to Indigenous contexts.

While ‘stakeholder’ is a widely used term in academia and various professional and business settings,  it is used in this course to refer to individuals or groups with an interest or concern in a particular matter, and we acknowledge that its use could create additional impact in Indigenous contexts.

Our intention is to promote understanding, inclusivity, and respect in all our interactions. If, at any point, the use of the term ‘stakeholder’ or any other language causes discomfort or offense, we sincerely apologize, and reiterate that this is not our intent. Scholars in the field of stakeholder theory are researching better terminology and, once that has been developed, we will implement the new terminology.

We continuously strive to be considerate and empathetic toward all perspectives and sensitivities and thank you for taking the time to hear our awareness of this concern and in helping us to create a more respectful and understanding environment for all.
