Organisation and people development in the business of sport
As the year starts (well sort of), sport continues to provide abject examples of poor, if not non-existent stakeholder consultation! This time at the highest echelon of the sport of rugby union - World Rugby.
As the Roar reports:
And over at the RFU it is a similar situation:
"The RFU has stood firm over its ban on tackles above the waist, which its council refused to consult the wider game on before voting for. So fierce has been the backlash from those affected that Bill Sweeney, the governing body’s chief executive, and its board are in danger of facing a vote of no confidence.
It's really not that hard!
Simply Identify... Prioritise... Engage!

And here is the upshot of poor stakeholder consultation - a humiliating apology from an organisation that really should have known better. If you want to do stakeholder management better just drop me an email on [email protected]
