🔑 Mastering Stakeholder Management: A Non-Negotiable for Program & Portfolio Success
Whether you’re managing a single project or steering an enterprise-wide transformation, your ability to influence and align stakeholders can make or break success.
I’ve distilled my learnings into 7 powerful principles of stakeholder management — essential for every Project, Program, and Portfolio Manager:
1️⃣ Identify Stakeholders – Recognize key individuals who impact or are impacted by your project.
2️⃣ Understand Their Needs – Assess stakeholder expectations, interests, and concerns for better alignment.
3️⃣ Maintain Transparency – Provide clear, honest, and timely communication to build trust.
4️⃣ Engage Proactively – Actively involve stakeholders to prevent misunderstandings and conflicts.
5️⃣ Manage Conflicts Respectfully – Address stakeholder concerns with diplomacy and mutual respect.
6️⃣ Align Interests and Goals – Find common ground to create win-win outcomes for all stakeholders.
7️⃣ Foster Long-Term Relationships – Strong stakeholder relationships drive continuous success and trust.
Each principle empowers you to build trust, mitigate resistance, and ensure strategic alignment at every level. 💼🌍

🎯 Project success doesn’t come from flashy tools—it comes from purpose, clarity, and people.
In Episode 2 of the Innovative Project Management Practices series, I had the privilege of speaking with Olajumoke Akinwunmi, EDGE Expert & PMP®, about the real strategies that drive project excellence.
💬 We explored what truly transforms project delivery—not just emerging tech or trends, but:
🔹 Early stakeholder engagement
🔹 Clear communication and agile-inspired transparency
🔹 Meaningful team morale boosters
🔹 Smart but thoughtful tech adoption (yes, drones included!)
🔹 Negotiation strategies that build trust, not walls
This episode is a masterclass in grounded leadership, and Olajumoke’s insights are a must-listen for anyone managing complex projects or diverse teams.

KPIs are designed to measure success – but what if they mislead rather than inform?In Episode 5 of Managing High-Stress Projects Q&A, I had a thought-provoking discussion with Tom Witterholt on why KPIs often fail and how leaders can avoid common measurement mistakes.
💡 Key Takeaways from Our Discussion:
✔ KPIs are rarely perfect on the first attempt – continuous refinement is critical
✔ Unexpected results? They might highlight real performance issues or flawed metrics
✔ Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data – choosing the right measurement approach is key
✔ Hidden factors matter – some root causes go beyond surface-level indicators
✔ Bad KPIs exist – some metrics may be impractical, misleading, or unmeasurable
