In any project, you need stakeholders – they’re the people who have a personal investment in your project or business. Sometimes this investment is financial, sometimes it’s not. The problem is that when people have an investment in your project, they can either be supportive or they can be roadblocks. What they become depends on how you handle them.
So what is the best way to transform stakeholder roadblocks into support? Survey data can be used to convince your stakeholders to give you the leeway, funds, and control to act on your findings.
