Training evening: stakeholder management
Turn resistance into support
November 17th - Take In (Ghent)
Training evening: stakeholder management
During this evening training session, you will discover how to tackle complex challenges in water management, infrastructure, the environment and construction together with stakeholders. You will gain practical tools and insights, while also learning from shared experiences.
Stronger together
Our society is changing rapidly. New developments, competing interests and evolving expectations make it increasingly important to involve the right stakeholders at the right time. But how do you maintain a clear overview and make sure collaboration genuinely delivers results?
Effective stakeholder management makes all the difference
By bringing relevant parties together at an early stage, you can draw on different perspectives, build support and work towards solutions that go beyond the interests of a single organisation or stakeholder.
The best solutions emerge when knowledge, interests and ideas come together
Discover how strong stakeholder management can help you contribute to a better living environment, both now and in the future.
Why does this matter?
- You bring the right people together at the right time in the right way;
- You gather (out-of-the-box) ideas, concerns and valuable input by involving the stakeholders in an early stage;
- Your project gains extra value when we co-create project solutions that are both technically robust and widely supported;
- A project that might otherwise stall becomes feasible.
Programme
- 16:30 – 17:00: Welcome
- 17:00 – 18:30: The importance of stakeholder management, illustrated through real-world cases involving complex infrastructure projects such as Oosterweel, industrial environmental permitting such as Greenyard Frozen Belgium, and major construction projects such as Kapellenblok Herentals. Three very different cases, each with its own target audiences, yet all built on a similar approach: creating broad support for a successful project.
- 18:30 – 19:15: Buffet and networking
- 19:15 – 20:15: Participation: what does it mean? What does it involve? What forms can it take? We guide you through the process, from designing a participation pathway to choosing the right working formats.
- 20:15 – 21:00: Questions, networking and drinks
