Learning how to work with the people around you is often the most effective way to get the answers you need. Navigating stakeholders is a core part of public service, yet it remains one of the hardest to master. Competing priorities, unclear roles and internal silos can frequently block progress. For anyone responsible for delivering outcomes, understanding how to manage stakeholders is essential to making decisions, building support and sustaining momentum. In this panel, three experienced civil servants share their approaches to stakeholder management in high-stakes public sector environments. From managing upwards to keeping people engaged over time, you’ll hear what works, what doesn’t and how you can get quicker answers from challenging stakeholders. *Image Credit: unsplash*
