Effective stakeholder engagement helps organisations and projects to set direction, ensure potential problems are addressed, and understand any changes to goals. Management and employee commitment within the organisation is assured. Effective
stakeholder engagement requires good decision-making and sustainable business development.
This SSG explores the implications of ISO 55000 frameworks and 'fundamentals' for Stakeholder Engagement.
We offer comprehensive tools and techniques for the asset manager to deliver the fundamentals of asset management by effectively engaging stakeholders within and outside their organisations.
