Topic #: 1
[All BAPv5 Questions]

End users in one business area are unwilling to adopt a new finance management system (recently introduced by the innovation team), as they perceive that it is unnecessarily complicated and not useful. One of the end users in this business area has been very vocal and has been relying support from others since posting about it on the company's intranet homepage.

The introduction finance system was initially supported by senior managers, but now users in other business area are also beginning to question whether they adopt the tool and are raising the issue with their managers.

The sponsor fully supports the decision to go ahead with the now tool and has made il very cleat to senior managers that he expects them to support this Initiative.

Which stakeholder management strategy SHOULD be taken with the senior managers?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The stakeholder management strategy for senior managers should be constant active management. Senior managers have high power and high interest in the project, as they are responsible for overseeing its implementation and ensuring its alignment with organizational goals. They also have influence over other stakeholders, such as end users and employees. Therefore, they need to be regularly engaged, consulted, informed, and involved in decision making throughout the project lifecycle. Option B is the correct answer.

I think keeping them informed would also be crucial, so they are aware of any developments and can address any concerns from their teams.

I think even if they are initially on board, it's important to keep them engaged and informed to address any potential issues that may arise.

But what if the senior managers are already on board with the tool? Would constant active management be too much?

I believe we should keep them informed for now, but if necessary, we may need to resort to actively managing their involvement.

But what if they are not fully on board? Should we just keep them informed or take a different approach?
