Stakeholder Engagement is the underlying force which bridges the gaps between all of the functions of Public Affairs management. The purpose of stakeholder engagement is to create positive relationships with relevant stakeholders and manage their expectations. Engaging with your business’s stakeholders– clients, suppliers, lobbyists, governmental associations, etc. – ensures that your business gets meaningful feedback from those who play a role in its success.
Stakeholder engagement and management is a critical activity for any company or organization, whether it is producing goods, delivering services, carrying out projects or programs, or engaging in any other activity. Analyzing the company and its aforementioned activities, and identifying which individuals, groups, or organizations would be able to affect or be affected by such activities is a key component of what Arete Publica Associates can offer.
