00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,050
‫Identifying your key stakeholders is important for proper communication.

2
00:00:08,130 --> 00:00:13,620
‫Let's start off by discussing the definition of a stakeholder your stakeholders will be those key people

3
00:00:13,620 --> 00:00:20,340
‫who have any direct or indirect inputs or whose department is directly or indirectly impacted by this

4
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:23,100
‫particular program or project that you're running.

5
00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:30,180
‫Stakeholders can be your team, your leadership, corporate accounting, your project manager or your

6
00:00:30,180 --> 00:00:30,750
‫customer.

7
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:37,210
‫Think about who this particular project will impact, and we will go deeper into this at the end of

8
00:00:37,210 --> 00:00:37,930
‫this section.

9
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:39,610
‫Let's visualize it.

10
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:42,760
‫Who has any input for this particular project?

11
00:00:43,540 --> 00:00:46,330
‫And then where is the output going for this project?

12
00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:53,340
‫So if we make a diagram and we map these things out, you should be able to quickly identify some key

13
00:00:53,340 --> 00:00:59,220
‫stakeholders taking this particular template into a meeting and having a conversation with your team

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,770
‫to help you create and finalize the list of people who need to understand and be in the know of your

15
00:01:04,770 --> 00:01:05,310
‫project.

16
00:01:05,850 --> 00:01:08,460
‫Throughout the program, you will engage your stakeholders.

17
00:01:08,850 --> 00:01:14,610
‫This is all about communication and of course, keeping your stakeholders involved and the know what's

18
00:01:14,610 --> 00:01:19,290
‫happening as far as the status of your project and where you are in your budget.

19
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:25,500
‫And it's definitely important in those day to day meetings, no matter if it's a weekly meeting, monthly

20
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:31,230
‫meeting or whatever the cadence says, you always would like to keep those stakeholders updated.

21
00:01:31,530 --> 00:01:34,760
‫Maybe have some sort of meeting minutes they can refer back to.

22
00:01:35,070 --> 00:01:40,770
‫And at times, stakeholders may be a bit too busy to attend those day to day meetings, but they do

23
00:01:40,770 --> 00:01:47,130
‫need to understand, possibly on their own time, what's happening with this particular program or project.

24
00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:52,740
‫Be sure to keep them in the know invited on all emails and any types of meetings.

25
00:01:53,750 --> 00:01:59,270
‫And keep in mind when referencing meeting minutes or project documentation, where are the documents

26
00:01:59,270 --> 00:02:00,320
‫and templates located?

27
00:02:01,070 --> 00:02:04,700
‫Are they on your SharePoint, possibly on a local drive?

28
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,390
‫Insurance stakeholders know the location and have access should be a continual reference point for project

29
00:02:11,390 --> 00:02:11,870
‫meetings.

30
00:02:12,350 --> 00:02:15,860
‫You never know when they'll have time to pop in and really get some input.

31
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,310
‫But you should also schedule some one on one time.

32
00:02:20,290 --> 00:02:23,530
‫Think back to what your company policies are around this as well.

33
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,560
‫You might want to schedule some sort of leadership meeting or stakeholder engagement meeting to give

34
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,900
‫an update of where you are in this project.
