You're facing uncertainties in decision-making. How can you effectively communicate with stakeholders?

N?o espere até ter todas as respostas para se comunicar com as partes interessadas. Informe-as sobre a situa??o o mais rápido possível, mesmo que você ainda n?o tenha todas as informa??es.

When faced with uncertainty, it's crucial to be transparent with stakeholders. By acknowledging what is known and what isn't, trust is built, and transparency is demonstrated. This approach fosters collaboration, allowing stakeholders to contribute valuable insights and solutions. Honesty is appreciated by stakeholders, and pretending to have all the answers can have negative consequences if the situation changes unexpectedly. Embracing uncertainty and working together yields better results.

Embracing and reducing uncertainty when communicating with stakeholders starts with mapping stakeholders. Mapping comprises: - The complete list of stakeholders ("Demographics") - What are their roles (usual role vs. role in the given engagement you consider here for information, internal vs. external, direct or indirect engagement) - How are they likely to engage in the workflow? - Which type of decisions are they responsible for, and how do they make an impact when they have made them? At this stage, the point is to build and implement a robust process to inform all parties with relevant and accurate content. The information process relies on tracking systems, supporting teams, and communication technologies.

One of the most underrated forms of gaining trust and finding solutions is "sharing information". 1. In the Corporate world, this is particularly a double-edged sword where often leaders are unable to share a lot of information or even share some for certain projects or on financial-operational related, confidential matters. 2. However, it is better to share the challenges clearly and briefly, acknowledge the lack of solutions or decisions that need to be made, and invite everyone to think and pitch in. 3. Collaborate and brainstorm to arrive at the process, but de-jargonize big words and industry or technical phrases that may not be clear to some of the stakeholders.

Insight: Soliciting feedback is typically seen as a way to gather immediate reactions, but it can also be a valuable tool for gauging the evolution of stakeholder perceptions over time. Tracking how feedback changes can provide insights into shifting stakeholder priorities and values. Engagement Strategy: Create a “feedback loop” mechanism where stakeholders can provide feedback at multiple points during a project's lifecycle. Analyze trends in this feedback to identify shifts in stakeholder attitudes and priorities. This ongoing dialogue not only keeps stakeholders engaged but also helps leaders adapt strategies proactively.

If we are uncertain about the outcome of our decision, let's organize a meeting with all stakeholders before making a final decision. We can propose our decision along with the probable outcomes and make a collaborative decision.
