Engagement with the internal stakeholders of the project will be increased. In order to do so, frequent informal meetings will be conducted with the downstream staff. In addition to the feedback on professional activities, personal experience of the individuals will be explored to ensure a strong bond.

This will result into a better communication with all internal stakeholders of the project. In addition to this, it will enhance the personal bonding of the staff member, and they will work more efficiently to meet their targets.

6 months

As supplier development is crucial in the project planning, as a networking activity, three alternate suppliers will be explored and negotiated. This networking activity will provide an opportunity to enhance the negotiation skills.

This activity will enhance the negotiation skills by providing a practical platform to apply the theoretical concepts. In addition to this, it may result into a long-term and effective contract with some potential supplier.

Other project management professionals in the field can help in various ways, particularly those having a higher level of experience. Networking with an experienced community of project management can enhance the skills and provide further opportunities in the field.

This networking activity is more of a personal development of the individual. In addition to this, it will strengthen the overall grip over project management.

Feedback: As of the personal development plan, assessment will be a continuous practice on this. For a feedback of two months, the individual has developed one more supplier and score more than 80% marks in engagement survey with internal stakeholders.
