ACMP Global Exam CCMP Topic 5 Question 4 Discussion

The stakeholder engagement strategy defines how individuals and groups impacted by the change will be engaged throughout the initiative. According to ACMP, the purpose is to build trust, reduce resistance, and strengthen adoption by ensuring those affected are actively involved in the process. While resistant employees (B) and managers (A) are subsets of stakeholders, the broader objective is inclusivity of all affected groups (option D). Identification (C) is part of stakeholder analysis, not the engagement strategy itself.
