In a highly politicized organizational environment, the stakeholders are driven by their own operational or business goals, which results in conflicting interests regarding the project. What should the project manager do to steer the stakeholders toward the collective project goal?
In a highly politicized organizational environment with stakeholders driven by their own operational or business goals, the project manager should focus on aligning these stakeholders toward the collective project goal by promoting, inspiring, and following the stakeholder engagement process. This approach encourages active participation, fosters a shared vision, and helps to manage expectations and conflicts, thereby ensuring that all stakeholders remain committed and engaged with the project's objectives.
Ans B I would go with an effective communication management plan to keep it clean and clear, in a politicized environment
The issue of pursuining your own goals is that you will not collaborate with others, or not to the extend that you should. If we inspire by example on how we engage with others, we can set an example.
Promouvoir : Le chef de projet doit activement promouvoir l'importance du projet et les bénéfices qu'il apportera à l'organisation dans son ensemble. Cela aide à créer une vision partagée et à motiver les parties prenantes à s'aligner sur les objectifs communs. Inspirer : Il est essentiel d'inspirer les parties prenantes en leur montrant comment leur contribution individuelle et collective mènera au succès du projet. En inspirant, le chef de projet peut surmonter les résistances et les intérêts divergents. Suivre le processus d’engagement des parties prenantes : Cela inclut la gestion continue des attentes, la communication régulière et l'implication active des parties prenantes tout au long du projet. En suivant ce processus, le chef de projet peut assurer que les parties prenantes restent engagées et alignées avec l'objectif du projet.
option B is the most appropriate action in this situation to address conflicting interests among stakeholders and steer them toward the collective project goal.
In a highly politicized environment with conflicting stakeholder interests, the most effective approach for the project manager is: D. Promote, inspire, and follow the stakeholder engagement process. Here's why: Option A: While risk management is important, it's primarily reactive and doesn't actively address the underlying conflicting interests. Option B: Communication management helps disseminate information, but it might not be enough to shift mindsets and align competing goals. Option C: Issue management focuses on resolving specific problems, which might not necessarily bridge the gap between divergent stakeholder objectives.
Promote, inspire, and follow the stakeholder engagement process--- Lead by example, promote cheer on the project.
B is the correct answer!!
