Para garantir o alinhamento entre as partes interessadas em meus projetos, priorizo uma comunica??o aberta e estruturada, com reuni?es regulares para discutir expectativas, objetivos e desafios. Facilito workshops para promover transparência e, em caso de conflitos, utilizo uma estratégia de constru??o de consenso que envolve negocia??o e compromisso. Em rela??o à tomada de decis?o, primeiro é preciso "colocar a bola no ch?o", separando sentimentos dos fatos. A partir daí, organizo o que pode ser mensurado, definindo a??es com base em dados e mantendo o foco nos objetivos estratégicos do projeto.

To resolve disagreements, it’s crucial to first acknowledge the different perspectives and concerns each party holds. Facilitating constructive discussions allows stakeholders to identify common ground and areas of mutual benefit. By reframing the goal in a way that highlights shared values and LONG-TERM benefits, stakeholders can shift from conflict and misalignment to cooperation and uniformity. Overall, establishing clear priorities, compromise, and a commitment to the broader vision helps everyone move forward toward a unified objective.

An example i read recently NASA's Gemini Program encountered a significant challenge. Engineers and scientists were at odds over the spacecraft main goal: should it focus on lunar landing or on conducting spacewalk experiment? To address this, project manager called a crucial meeting, bringing together stakeholders to find common ground. By listening to concerns and pinpointing objectives, they reached a consensus: the spacecraft would support both spacewalks and preparations for lunar missions. This collaborative approach set the stage for the remarkable achievements of the Gemini Program. This narrative reflects the real-life obstacles they faced, emphasizing the vital role communication and alignment in reaching project objectives.

Keeping so-called misaligned key stakeholders on board is a primary reason for project failure and a toxic team environment. Reviewing strategic statements and project initiation is vital to restore upfront clarity and fair communication. Management meetings with the sponsors, HR, and a small selection of senior management help to unearth and analyze hidden obstacles that fuel misalignments: skill-based issues, the workload of some stakeholders, projects vs. operations conflict, or any other lack of execution preparation. I have never found or advised my clients to build consensus in such stern situations. Structural or skill-based problems take courage and adequate project management reframing, not mere tactics or communication effort.
