Hi ,

One of the best piece of advice that has profoundly shaped my career trajectory is the importance of building relationships and meaningful connections with stakeholders.

When stakeholders are genuinely engaged and feel a personal connection to the project, they're more inclined to contribute their best efforts.

They transition from being mere participants to being invested partners in achieving project outcomes.

Here’s how I bring this advice to life in my day-to-day work:

📍Personalized onboarding meeting: At the outset of a project, I organize a meeting to introduce myself and also to learn about my stakeholders on a personal level.

This helps me understand their preferred for collaboration and communication channels, their level of experience and availability for the work.

This initial interaction lays the foundation for trust and open communication.

📍Educating them on the BA work approach: I take the time to walk stakeholders through the project delivery approach, work scope, estimated timeline, and their roles and responsibility.

This ensures they understand how we will collaboratively enable the change(s)

📍Active engagement: Whenever their schedule allows, I involve stakeholders in the activities and decisions.

This participation not only enriches the project with their insights, but also instills a sense of ownership in the outcomes.

📍Regular communication: providing regular updates and check-ins help keep everyone on the same page and fosters a collaborative environment.

In my business analysis career development program, I provide a step by step approach for onboarding stakeholders.

I also provide a template you can use to create your presentation for that onboarding meeting.
