great course , very informative without dragging on
A very well written course that takes you from the basics of stakeholder management and engagement through to being able to create your own stakeholder engagement plans. I particularly liked the lesson about stakeholder mapping which is invaluable input to anyone looking to prioritize their stakeholder engagement effectively.
This course provides valuable points of view on how best to manage stakeholders in ways I wouldn't expect. Very enlightening.
