To navigate stakeholder resistance during design reviews, start by actively listening to their concerns to build trust. Clearly articulate the goals and benefits of proposed changes, demonstrating how they align with project objectives. Provide evidence through data and case studies to support your proposals. Encourage collaboration by inviting stakeholders to contribute ideas, turning resistance into ownership. Be open to feedback and willing to adapt your proposals based on their input. Finally, follow up after the meeting to address any lingering concerns and reinforce the benefits of the changes, maintaining momentum towards consensus and successful innovation.
