Businesses today are more dependent on technology than ever before.

Now more than ever, they’re looking to IT for ways to improve employee productivity, customer service and innovation.

The challenge is that in order to achieve results with technology, IT and the business have to work collaboratively.

IT needs to be able to develop the right relationships and communicate with different stakeholders from a business perspective, and not a technical one.

As a result, the transformation of the IT department has become a top-level priority for many leading organizations.

At the same time, business leaders need to strengthen their business technology IQ and play a more significant role in the governance of IT.

This 1-hour complimentary webinar will discuss the skills and knowledge required to help IT and the business collaborate and perform in this new environment, and will share industry best practices for making the transition.

In many organisations, projects are “co-ordination” rather than “secondment” based – that is, not all of the team members report to the programme manager.

This matrix of responsibility means that functional managers are key stakeholders.

This cause a number of issues and tensions between the project and functions, and also across multiple projects.

This webinar examines these issues and suggests stakeholder management tools and techniques to deal with them including:

• Building your stakeholder map.
• Creating a support v authority matrix.
• Effective stakeholder communication, understanding you audience.
• Prioritising your requests.
• Stakeholder persuasion techniques, bulding stakeholder support.
• Dealing with difficulties senior stakeholder rivalry, multi-supplier politics, etc.

Jake will illustrate the seminar with examples taken from projects and programmes he has worked on.

Presenter:  Jake Holloway  (LinkedIn profile) of Xceed Group is an experienced programme manager, and author of A Practical Guide to Dealing With Difficult Stakeholders. He  was responsible for designing and implementing project management systems and methods for customers. Jake’s interest is in the difference between the reality of how people behave at work and how it is described in management theory.
