DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/n7kzxl/public_acceptance) has announced the addition of the "Public Acceptance & Dialogue Masterclass - 2 Day Executive Training (London)" conference to their offering.
Delivering key infrastructure projects - real estate, factories, pipelines, transmission lines, energy production sites, storage facilities or power generation - is challenging for organizations, regulators and governments. They face technical, economic, environmental, regulatory and investor issues.
Yet the critical challenge that can cause costly delays or kill a project is Public Acceptance. And Public Acceptance requires effective dialogue. However, it often deals in an area many companies find challenging, the world of emotion and potential public outrage.
Citizens, environmental groups, communities and other stakeholders have powerful communication tools with which to oppose projects. And they know that emotion can trump data. Undertaking and managing genuine, open dialogue with people who are affected by projects can make the difference between delivery success or failure.
The Importance of Stakeholder Dialogue:
There is an overwhelming business case for effective stakeholder dialogue with the objective of achieving public acceptance. A global study of nearly 200 energy projects around the world revealed that political or stakeholder related delays outweighed other vital risk factors, such as economic or technical challenges.
The Masterclass addresses how companies can adopt effective strategies for managing a dialogue process that can improve their chances of reducing potential project delays.
