<H3>About this course</H3>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>You have done the hard work to craft a vision and strategy that you and the team believe in – it’s based on customer insights and achieves business targets – but there’s a problem. Stakeholders are challenging your plan. Your strategy is at risk from someone with a different idea of what success looks like. </SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal">This course teaches participants some simple and effective methods for turning stakeholder relationships from an impediment to an amplifier of product success. We use the combined power of design thinking and storytelling to better understand our stakeholders and to leverage that understanding to influence them and improve our strategies. </P>
<P CLASS="MsoNormal">Each participant will end the day with a customised plan for how to strengthen their stakeholder relationships and take their product strategies forward with more confidence and support, uncovering one of product life’s most elusive win-wins.</P>

<P CLASS="MsoNormal"><SPAN>Anyone with product stakeholders. If you’re a product manager or product owner in a large company full of HiPPOs, it’s for you.

If you’re part of a complex ecosystem of business partners, and your stakeholders are from other companies, it’s for you, too!</SPAN></P>
