• Discuss how engaging project stakeholders can help achieve collective goals.
• Practice three stakeholder management techniques of “Identification, Prioritization, and Engagement”.
• Explore what rational, emotional, and social elements influence people’s opinions and decisions.  
• Draft a brief plan for engaging your workplace stakeholders
• Learn how AI Simulation technology can provide high training ROI
