EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
While creating correspondence community system plan for stakeholders doing a beginning phase is required. For this
we can utilize stakeholder mind maps.
Since the partners are the gatherings showing revenue on tasks or associations there are different classifications, we
can distinguish for community college, for example, Government, financial backers, project workers, suppliers and so
on. There are expected impact from partners while participating in these exercises.

Reflection on the mind map
Who are the Stakeholders?
A person, group, or organisation that has a personal, financial, or other interest in the result of a project or
commercial endeavour is referred to as a stakeholder. (Landau, 2022) Stakeholders are people or organisations
that have a vested interest in the outcome of a project, and they may or may not be affiliated with the entity
that is funding the endeavour. The decisions that stakeholders make can either have a favourable or negative
impact on the project, making them an essential component of the endeavour. There are also essential or
essential stakeholders, whose support is required for the project in order for it to continue existing. (Landau,
2022)
People and institutions whose objectives may be favourably or adversely impacted by the successful
execution or completion of the project. (Ajaz, 2016)
Why do stakeholders show interest in projects?
When it comes to the construction of a community college in a large city in the country, the many
stakeholders involved have quite different priorities in mind (Lienert, 2020). For example,
stakeholders coming from a variety of levels will bring a variety of different motivations and
expectations to a specific project (Lienert, 2020). It may be difficult to describe the exact interests of
any and all sorts of stakeholders, particularly if those interests are "hidden" or if they are in direct
opposition to the goals that are openly declared by the organisations or groups that are engaged. You
may elicit people's interests by questioning them:
Which are the aspirations that the stakeholders have for the project?
Which advantages may the various stakeholders have as a result of this?
Which of their resources would they like to contribute to the initiative, and which would they prefer
not to provide?
Which of the stakeholder's other interests may potentially be in conflict with the work being done on
the project?
What kind of relationship does the stakeholder maintain with the other stakeholders?
Stakeholder Communication Strategies
In order to better engage its stakeholders and analyse their opinion on major projects on the agenda
of the company, a stakeholder communication plan is a strategy developed by an organisation or a
project team (Indeed Editorial Team, 2021). It gives a general description of the people with whom
it should interact, the ideas it should transmit, the delivery method it will use, and the frequency with
which it will be used. To achieve these goals, a communication plan for stakeholders should include
the following:
To keep up with or enhance ties with the individuals who can have an impact on the outcome, often

known as key stakeholders or the target audience
For the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the operations
When it comes to a community college building project, it is needed to communicate with each and
every stakeholder to let know the information on the project and to get to know the new details. I
have mentioned the details as the table below.

Through effective interaction with stakeholders, you are able to get feedback from those involved in the
community building project on any decisions that may have an impact on those stakeholders. It does not matter
what function you play in the executive team for the project; if you are able to design a stakeholder
communication strategy, you will be better able to apply helpful stakeholder communication techniques.
