Workshop: Engage and Influence: Communication Tools in Action
This workshop is designed to help you turn stakeholder management into a key success factor for your projects. You will learn how to identify and map stakeholders, uncover their specific needs, and use three powerful communication tools – KPIs, storytelling, and copywriting – to engage them effectively. Drawing on over 15 years of international project experience, this session provides practical insights and hands-on exercises to help you turn ideas into action and communication into lasting impact.
What You Will Learn:
How to identify and map key stakeholders.
How to uncover their specific needs and interests.
How to apply KPIs, storytelling, and copywriting to engage stakeholders effectively.
How to turn ideas into action and communication into lasting impact.
Mit den richtigen Worten: Wie gezielte Werbung, fesselnde Geschichten und präzise KPIs den Projekterfolg beeinflussen
Neben KPIs werden auch Storytelling und Copywriting zu unverzichtbaren Schlagworte im Projektmanagement. Sie ermöglichen es, Bedarfe zu wecken, Botschaften zu transportieren und fundierte Entscheidungen zu treffen. Doch nicht jeder ist ein geborener Geschichtenerzähler, und nicht jeder möchte etwas verkaufen. Manche tun sich schwer damit, objektive Zusammenhänge in verständliche Zahlen zu verwandeln.
In diesem Vortrag werden allgemeine Grundlagen der Kommunikation nach Watzlawik sowie die Unterschiede zwischen den genannten Methoden erläutert. Beispielhafte Anwendungen aus dem Projektalltag für unterschiedliche Stakeholder verdeutlichen die theoretischen Inhalte. So erhalten die Zuhörer das Handwerkszeug für eine zielorientierte Kommunikation – beruflich und privat.
