Stakeholder Alignment Workshop

Stakeholder alignment workshop for B2B web projects

This stakeholder alignment workshop is a focused, 1-day session that gives your team a shared direction and a practical next-step plan before you commit to major digital investments.

You leave with:

  • a shared outcome (Customer Victory) and top priorities
  • clear trade-offs and decision rules
  • a roadmap and next steps your team can execute
Misalignment is expensive: research shows organizations waste ~9.7% of invested budget due to poor project performance and lack of alignment, and 33% of project failures are directly linked to missing senior stakeholder involvement or alignment.

For the relaunch of stabilo-promotion.com, our main priorities were performance and user-friendliness especially with a modern product configurator. We were particularly impressed by the seamless collaboration between UX concept and design and technical implementation: our requirements were not only understood, but thoughtfully expanded upon. The new configurator is a real highlight for us: our customers can now design their promotional products intuitively, which not only creates excitement but also significantly eases our sales processes. Since the launch, we’ve received consistently positive feedback on the usability and professional look of the site. For us, it’s a true leap forward in digital customer communication.

FAQs

What is the primary goal of the Stakeholder Alignment Workshop?
