Stakeholder engagement is the process of involving individuals, organizations, and communities that have a stake in the success or failure of a project or initiative.

More on: Stakeholder engagement

The podcast episodes highlight the critical importance of stakeholder engagement across a range of topics, from housing and energy policy to artificial intelligence development and corporate social responsibility.

Several episodes emphasize the need to consider diverse perspectives, including industry representatives, community members, policymakers, and subject matter experts, in order to develop effective and sustainable solutions. For example, the episode 'Boss Talks: Episode 85' discusses the importance of engaging on-site professionals, suppliers, and community members in housing advocacy efforts, while the episode 'Chuck Schumer just fired the Senate's AI starting gun' underscores the importance of including industry, government, civil society, and academic stakeholders in AI policymaking.

Other episodes highlight specific stakeholder engagement strategies, such as the participatory systems mapping approach covered in the episode 'Pete Barbrook-Johnson and Alexandra S. Penn, "Systems Mapping: How to Build and Use Causal Models of Systems" (Palgrave MacMillan, 2022)', or the need to build diverse coalitions for driving diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives as discussed in the episode 'E242: Doing the Work and Doing it Right: Deconstructing DEI with Author, Speaker and Consultant Lily Zheng'.
