What is the Modern Stakeholder Management course about?
Public-sector initiatives operate in high-visibility environments where stakeholders include citizens, oversight bodies, vendors, and interagency partners. Traditional stakeholder models fail under this complexity, leading to reactive communication, duplicated effort, and strategic drift.
