High-stakes initiatives share one common under-appreciated risk factor: People. Success requires the cooperation, if not the active investment, of multiple parties—some of whom have different and evening divergent interests. For executives, it means managing expectations up, down, and all around.

With decades of experience, April is able to quickly spot high-risk areas in your initiative, on which success and failure ultimately hinges. Her pragmatic, research-based stakeholder engagement advisory can turn your project around and get it on stable ground. If the winds are in your favor, you have the chance to build real momentum and become a huge success where everybody wins (feels pretty good).
