Tension in Stakeholder Groups
Tensions in Stakeholder Groups
The author of this report is asked to make a brief offering of how tensions can be sparked when multiple groups of stakeholders coalesce around and offer their voice regarding the same project. This can be even more pronounced if the project is public and expensive in nature. Such was the case in Athens with the AIA project surrounding their airport adjustments that were to occur around the 2004 Olympic Games. This report will discuss the tensions that existed or would exist in a project of that nature and the author will also provide two suggestions as to how to mitigate or even eliminate those tensions.
Whether it be roadways, bridges or other projects of that nature, public-facing or public-used projects that are remotely taxpayer-funded in nature get a special kind of scrutiny and the 2004 Olympic games in Athens (especially in light of the economic turmoil that is going on in Greece right now) was...
The airport in Athens was the focus of the Athens International Airport (AIA) preparations for the 2004 Olympic Games in that area. Any project or sub-project of that nature is going to have a lot of stakeholders and a lot of differing opinions. Many hold Olympic Games to be money pits for cities given that many of the facilities and venues are only used once and never used again. However, the center of this report was the airport and that facility would obviously be used before, during and after the event.
Even so, that does not ease the stakeholder tensions nor does it make the depth and the breadth of the project therein any easier to navigate. Tensions that would exist between the government, the users of the airport and the people in general would include things like whether the airport's use would be constricted or reduced during improvements, whether the improvements are just for the Olympics and whether they will be shuttered or…

Project Management The part one of this project discusses several challenges that can affect the success of a project. Ineffective project management and inefficient project planning are part of the top challenges of project implementation, which consequently lead to project failures if these challenges are not effectively managed. In the contemporary project environment, one of the major challenges facing project implementation is the project's risks, typically, every project carries risks and
The stakeholders of the most successful projects are the catalyst of the traditional managerial functions of planning, organizing, leading, motivating and defining control measures as well (Karlsen, 2002). The observation is also made that the reliance purely on the mechanics of stakeholder management aren't nearly as valuable as having a more unified, highly integrated platform of trust across all stakeholders. The goal of stakeholder management isn't the defining of
