IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING STAKEHOLDERS IN L&D PROJECTS

Identifying and Managing Stakeholders in L&D Projects Great learning doesn’t start with content it starts with people: understanding their needs, getting them on board and keeping them in the loop.

In this Lunch & Learn, Susannah will guide you through a practical approach to understanding your stakeholders more clearly, so your L&D projects land better and have real impact.

Together, you’ll explore how to:
Map your stakeholders and understand what matters most to them
Get clearer on the why behind the learning
Use emotions intentionally to shape the learning experience

You’ll leave with sharper insight into the who and the why, making it easier to design learning that feels relevant, thoughtful and genuinely effective.

This is a practical, reflective session designed for L&D professionals who want their design choices to make a meaningful difference without overcomplicating things.
