The New Book by Jan Van der Vurst

During the PM Fair, Jan Van der Vurst managed to inspire a full room with his energy and insights into stakeholders. His workshop was fully booked, and the participants were immersed in his vision on stakeholder management. Now he has bundled all that valuable knowledge in his latest book, Stakeholdering, which will be launched on February 27 in collaboration with Lannoo.

About the book

In Stakeholdering you will discover how to purposefully involve both internal and external stakeholders and let them actively contribute to your projects. What makes this book so special is the way it highlights not only the rational, but also the emotional aspects of stakeholder engagement.

📌 In part 1 you will learn to deal strategically with stakeholders: how to identify interests, build networks and strengthen involvement.

📌 In part 2 you dive into the challenges: dealing with resistance, power struggles and instinctive reactions - and how to transform these into positive collaboration.

With more than 200 practical tips, Stakeholdering is the hands-on guide for anyone who wants to build lasting relationships and make a real impact in a complex environment.

Don't miss the launch on February 27 and discover how you can take your stakeholder management to the next level!

The book will be presented on February 27 from 5:30 PM at the Ageas headquarters in Brussels. There will be a strong line-up to inspire you around this theme (see below).
