BUS 575 Grantham University Achieving Buy in From Key Stakeholders Paper
Description
Explain what actions you and your team will take to communicate change with stakeholders of focusing on one resource of employment networking to gain their buy-in. Be specific in the methods you will use to communicate: when, in what detail, and to whom.
Once you have crafted your communication strategy, draw up a mock questionnaire to survey a few of your key stakeholders. (The survey you devise is only hypothetical-you do not need to actually survey individuals from your change scenario.) The survey should allow you to gage the success of your communication strategy and identify changes that might be necessary in your strategy. You may find the exercise on page 98 helpful in crafting your own questionnaire. You may also find page 100 helpful in reviewing the key points of what to do and not do when crafting your communication strategy. Be sure your paper touches on the key elements of each as they pertain to your organization.
