The working lunch was opened by Colin Jackson from HS2 gave an overview of the HS2 programme which was followed by Ian Cribbes (Director at IMC&T, member of APM Stakeholder Engagement Focus Group) who provided an insightful and engaging presentation on his experiences and stakeholder management tools & techniques. Ian’s session included an overview of the People SIG SEFG, the role of the Sponsor, differences between engagement and management, classification and mapping, and the importance of cultural awareness and emotional intelligence. A copy of Ian’s presentation can be seen below and on the APM SlideShare page.
