C makes sense too, but I see why some might disagree.

Lynette 10 months ago

I think D is the odd one out here.

Maryann 10 months ago

A is definitely a reason to engage stakeholders.

Nicolette 10 months ago

Wait, are we really saying involving stakeholders reduces workload? Sounds off.

Jaclyn 10 months ago

Totally agree with B! Collaboration is key!

I vaguely recall that reducing conflict is a key reason for engagement, but I can't quite remember if that's the only reason.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify the benefits of stakeholder engagement, and I feel like all the other options make sense except for D.

I think option D sounds off because involving stakeholders is more about collaboration than just reducing workload.

I remember discussing how engaging stakeholders helps in identifying existing policies, but I'm not sure if that's the main reason for involving them.

The key here is to focus on the question - it's asking which option is NOT a reason for engaging with internal stakeholders. I think the answer is D, as involving stakeholders to reduce the workload of the Business Continuity Professional doesn't seem like a valid reason for engagement.

I'm a bit confused here. All of these options sound like good reasons to engage with internal stakeholders. I'll need to re-read the question and options carefully to figure out which one is the odd one out.

I've got this! Engaging stakeholders is crucial for a successful BCMS, so the option that is NOT a reason must be the one about reducing the workload and responsibilities of the Business Continuity Professional. That doesn't seem like a valid reason for engagement.

Okay, let's see. The options seem to be about reducing duplication, engaging colleagues, reducing conflict, and delegating work. I'm not sure which one is NOT a reason for engaging stakeholders.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the reasons for engaging with internal stakeholders when establishing a BCMS.

Option D seems like a good way to get out of doing work. Who wouldn't want to delegate all the admin stuff to someone else?

User 2: I agree, delegating administrative tasks may save time, but it's crucial for the professional to have a comprehensive understanding of the system.

User 1: Option D may seem like a good idea, but it's important for the Business Continuity Professional to be involved in all aspects of the BCMS.
