Communication Skills

"At which points and how should stakeholders be involved in evaluation? "
Some of the places where the stakeholders need to be involved are:
a. Inviting the stakeholders for a meeting so that they can discuss about the progress of the
company, depending upon the time, they can spend on the discussion.
b. The involvement in the key activities is done through properly focusing and planning on
the evaluation of the ongoing activities. There is a possibility to overcome the resistance
to evaluate and properly identify the benefits (Antognelli & Vizzari, 2017). These will
help in developing different questions for evaluation which have been seen to be
grounded as per the perceptions and experiences of stakeholders.
c. The reviewing is important and using the evaluation findings are important for the
improvement of program.
The stakeholders could help in providing a better perspective which is seen to be highly credible
with high quality and a better evaluation program. It will lead to facilitate the quality data
collection that helps in focusing over the evaluation findings through business knowledge about
the programs.
There is a need to engage the stakeholders in:
a. Community Fairs: They will be able to organize the events and aim for providing
information for ongoing projects.
b. Fishbowl Technique: For the management of the discussions and planning the relevant
issues (Sherman et al., 2016).
c. Formal & Informal Meetings: The guidance is based on running the key stakeholders and
seeking a better outcome.

d. Launching the workshops: They are for assessing and building a readiness for evaluating
a program.
