Stakeholder Engagement and Management

The BioInspired Graduate & Postdoctoral Professional Development Program is excited to announce the launch of the Spring 2025 workshop series on Project Management, a valuable set of skills for scientists and engineers in the lab or any professional setting. Scientists and engineers routinely use aspects of project management without even realizing it, but these skillsets can be honed and used intentionally to enhance the successful execution of experiments, writing projects, and collaborative efforts. Besides helping you more thoughtfully navigate your current projects at Syracuse, project management is an important, marketable skillset for future employment.

Project management requires the management of diverse stakeholders, often with conflicting priorities and interests. For STEM trainees, stakeholders include funding agencies, colleagues in your lab, collaborators, your advisor, and importantly, yourself. In this final installment of the project management series, Dr. Kelsey Moody, founder and CEO of Ichor Therapeutics, will discuss the management of these various stakeholders’ expectations with a specific focus on communication strategies, value generation, managing conflicting interests, and risk mitigation.
