To get the most out of the course, participants should come armed with a particular relationship or indeed relationships that they would like to improve. Those relationships do not need to be difficult relationships currently; taking a relationship from good to great is also just as relevant. Once we understand the challenges being faced then we can introduce the tools to help address those challenges.
To do this we will utilise Business Chemistry. This is a powerful research-based analytical, yet practical, Deloitte tool that provides an insight into an individual's preferences, behaviours, and working styles, leading to more collaborative and efficient teams, and ultimately greater success.
Expressly designed for use in a business context, Business Chemistry draws upon computational and analytical technologies to reveal four patterns of behaviour. It provides useful insights about individuals and teams based on observable traits, and practical tips on identifying, codifying, and adapting behaviours to create stronger connections between team members; all via the simple Business Chemistry language.
The Business Chemistry workshops is an interactive experience, delivered via a series of engaging and interactive exercises. These explore behavioural dynamics, what they mean, and how to adapt styles for greater success.
Putting those tools into practice using the course participant's real life examples
During this session, we will take the opportunity, in a safe environment, to try out some of the tools and techniques we've just shared. You will have the opportunity to:
Our final session of the day will be for you to create your own action plan of next steps. What practical things will you do on your return to the office to improve your stakeholder relationships?
Do you have personal ambitions to progress your career? Perhaps be a future CMO?
Then strong marketing skills alone will not get you to where you want to be. Strong stakeholder management skills are vital in order to fulfil your aspirations.
This is important if you are ever to effectively execute your marketing strategies. Indeed good stakeholder management can help you be more efficient saving both time and money. Poor relationships can mean multiple iterations of copy and artwork; leading to spiralling costs and inefficient ways of working.

Getting you thinking about how to improve stakeholder interactions. Claire was a very engaging tutor.
I attended the managing stakeholders course, it was really insightful and the tutor kept us engaged throughout. It's a great opportunity to reflect on your current working situation and learn how to enhance your personal skills through the exercises provided on the course.
Claire delivered the course with infectious enthusiasm and took the time to get to know our individual reasonings for being on the course. I have taken away a number of new techniques to better understand not only my stakeholders ways of working but also my own. Well worth the day away from work.
This course was really interesting and Claire's delivery was great.
