Managing Stakeholders in a Changing Environment

4-day (32 hours) classroom course

As a global business, aviation operates in a dynamic multi-cultural and ever-changing environment, where cross-cultural collaboration is vitally important. The ability to effectively build durable relationships with key stakeholders is critical. In such a changing environment, as decisions need to be taken and solutions implemented, resistance and conflict can also arise, which can slow down or even block change. IATA’s Managing Stakeholders in a Changing Environment course will equip you to identify and effectively engage with stakeholders, with confidence, ensuring the most appropriate and effective means of communication is utilized to maximize this engagement. It will also help you recognize different types of resistance, understand the fundamental sources of conflict and provide you with the tools and techniques to overcome it. The unique context of this course will be an understanding and appreciation of the importance of organization culture in international aviation.
