A little bit about this presentation
Case studies and lessons learned from a consultant’s point of view
◦ "Small fish in a big pond"
Working with EPCs, owner companies, other contractors, procurement, etc.
Key question: Who is your customer, and who is their customer? And how do you manage them?
Don’t be shy, ask questions!

What is a stakeholder and what do they want?
![Page 6: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is a stakeholder? "An individual, group, or organization who may affect, be affected by, or perceive itself to be affected by a decision, activity, or outcome of a project."
◦ PMBOK 5th edition
My favorite: “A person, group, or authority who is involved in or may be affected by project activities and who could act against the project if their needs are not considered.” (Wideman, 2002)
Stakeholder influence can change over the course of a project
A key source of conflict, but also a key ally
Don't forget that your team members are stakeholders, too!

Project and Stakeholder RelationshipPMI's definition of the relationship between the project and the project stakeholders
PMBOK 5th Edition, 2013, pg. 31
![Page 8: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Real world example of project/stakeholder relationships
![Page 9: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It's all about TRUST There are different kinds of trust
Analysis will help determine your management strategies
Strategies are constantly analyzed and updated
![Page 10: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The 4 kinds of trust Deterrence-based
◦ Fragile, one violation can erode the relationship
Role-based◦ Based on the other party's role and what you expect of them◦ often because there is limited time to develop a relationship with the other party
Knowledge-based◦ Based on your knowledge of and experience with the other party
Identification-based◦ Thickest form of trust◦ Based on an emotional connection; each party understands the other
![Page 11: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Planning your strategy Stakeholder identification happens throughout the project Early identification and planning are critical, but usually imperfect and tough to do
Distinguish between internal/external and positive/negative stakeholders
Basic idea is to influence stakeholders to ensure project success
![Page 12: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Plan, plan, and plan some more
Categorize your relationship with the stakeholder early in the project
Focus on stakeholders with high harm or high help potential Collaboration and Involvement Critical to project success:
◦ Contribution from stakeholders with high help potential◦ Mitigation of stakeholders with high harm potential
![Page 13: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Stakeholder management strategiesPlanning is great, but now what?
![Page 14: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stakeholder management strategies
Keep your eyes peeled for changes! ◦ Key element of project risk management (risk management never stops)
Focus on creating a “win-win”
Gain alignment with all stakeholders (not always possible)
![Page 15: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Strategy overview Kick off meeting
Well defined work-flow (swim lane diagram, etc.) and work boundaries
Formalize reporting guidelines
Actions/Issues Lists
![Page 16: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Project kick off meeting Preparation is key! Make sure everyone’s expectations are set appropriately and define the key assumptions Establish the communication plan and reporting schedule Define the key success factors Review and sign off on the project plan, including a RACI and integrated schedule
![Page 17: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Well defined work-flow I like using a “swim lane” diagram Clearly illustrate responsibilities of and dependencies between each functional area
◦ Who is doing what, to whom, and when◦ Not just a network diagram of the project schedule
Effectively communicate on a high level to all stakeholders Also useful as a “sales” tool to help get a project sanctioned and funded
![Page 18: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Example swim lane diagram
![Page 19: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Formalize reporting guidelines
What kind of communication structure is needed? Formal reporting meetings on a set schedule
◦ Minimal interaction outside of formal channels
Informal reporting across all levels of the project organization◦ Initiate meetings when needed, don’t wait for the formal scheduled meetings
Combination of the above Whatever it is, it needs to be documented in the communication plan
◦ When formal meetings are held, who to involve in informal meetings, who takes/issues meeting notes, decision register, etc.
![Page 20: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Formal reporting meetings
Create a project-wide actions/issues list
Give a short update to the sponsor or client PM
Don’t shy away from problems and challenges
Review issues and risks
![Page 21: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Actions/Issues list Issues are items for management attention (should be monitored or acted upon immediately)
Action items are used to track/manage items that may not appear in the project plans
Reviewed regularly Don’t assign these blindly; ensure everyone knows what is assigned to whom
◦ Are actions assigned to the right people who can actually get it done?
![Page 22: PMI AK Presentation_Neil Murray_September 2015 (handouts)](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051706/58ea1bd51a28abf9018b45e7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In summary It’s all about trust
Identification and planning never stops
Have a strategy
Communicate, communicate, communicate
