In order to determine who my client is for my proposal and not just be referring to them as “Client” though-out the proposal I had to determine who the governing body was for Hill Street, After a quick google search, it became clear the client would be Belfast City council and I will be referring to my client as Belfast city council from here on. As I said in my last post I have to be aware of stakeholders though-out the management of any project and what their needs would be as well as my client’s needs. Below are listed the potential stakeholders in the project and their needs as well as potential risks to the project and any potential mitigations for them.
Stakeholders
Within all projects, there will be those who have a stake in the project’s success either directly through investment or indirectly by having business affected in a holistic way.
- TourismNI
- Hotels/B&B
- Belfast Council
- Antrim and Newtonabbey council
- Businesses local to these areas
Stakeholder needs will both vary and overlap within a project some likely needs of stakeholders that must be taken into account are
- Bring in tourists
- Increase social media or website views
- Spread their message
- Market the locations well
- Ensure investment isn’t wasted
- Ensure project is completed on time
- Locations are well represented
Risks
- Legal action for using copyrighted music/Images
- Ensure continued stakeholder support
- Scheduling problems
- Loss of data
- Best software used for project/ Technical issues
Mitigation
- Source music/images with correct licensing
- Locations are shown in a favorable light
- Plan buffer time
- Use cloud storage
- Industry-standard software
