Workshop 4

Stakeholder Management - with a twist!

Limited virtual places available

In this interactive workshop, Claire Rason (Coach and BD Consultant), will explore stakeholder management, with a twist!

In a world of competing agendas and complex relationships, stakeholder management is more than just a checklist; it's a dynamic dance of influence, empathy, and strategy.

For Marketing and Business Development teams to get the client voice heard and to move practitioners to action, they need to be able to understand it. This facilitative session invites you to step back and ask: Who are the stakeholders who truly matter? And more importantly, how do we engage with them meaningfully?

Together, we'll explore the subtle but powerful distinction between persuasion and influence, and how each plays a role in shaping outcomes. We'll also dive into the thorny terrain of “difficult” stakeholders. Are they challenging because of their behaviour, or because of how we show up in the relationship?

Expect a space for reflection, dialogue, and practical tools to help you navigate stakeholder dynamics with confidence and curiosity.

To continue our collaboration with KWC Global we are hosting free 45-minute keynote webinars during the first quarter of 2026 .

Crisis has always been a trust test. But AI has changed the game: it can manufacture convincing “evidence,” accelerate misinformation, scale cyber-enabled disruption, and introduce new failure modes inside the very teams trying to respond.

If your organisation’s reputation is built on expertise, credibility, and client confidence, AI-driven crises are not hypothetical. This session will help you understand the new threat landscape, reduce organisational blind spots, and turn AI into a controlled advantage rather than an unmanaged risk—while protecting trust when it matters most.

This interactive seminar will include a keynote followed by a panel discussion examining crisis through the lens of business development, marketing, communications, and professional services.

The session will begin with a short keynote from Peter Heneghan , co-founder Albie.ai exploring how AI is reshaping crisis risk—through deepfakes, hallucinations, cyber-attacks, and synthetic misinformation—before turning to the practical question: how can organisations use AI safely and effectively during a crisis, while keeping expert human judgment firmly in control?

Following the keynote, we’ll move into a panel discussion featuring Peter Heneghan, Melanie Hart, Partner, Dispute Resolution, Kingsley Napley and A.N. Other expert from the PS sector, exploring the themes in more depth and examining the implications for professional services firms, their clients, and their reputations.

Business development in professional services is often ad hoc and the responsibility of the few. For business development to happen consistently and achieve results, your firm is likely to benefit from a structured approach.

This not only creates focus but also makes the subject less intangible and less ad hoc to involve more people, more consistently and deliver improved business outcomes.

In this interactive session, Joanna Gaudoin (ClientWise – helping you get the clients you want and the results you need) will walk you through a structured approach to business development.

Joanna will share in depth her framework “The 5 Ps of Proactive Business Development©” which will help you consider what gaps your firm currently has in its approach to business development, including the required mindset and skills.

Together, we will take time to reflect on and discuss the ‘Ps’ so you leave not only energised about business development but have something tangible to share with your teams, so they consider what action they need to take.

Think of this framework like a roadmap to better outcomes from business development.
