Communication Grid

Stakeholders are either impacted or can impact the reopening project of the new park (Nguyen & Aguilera, 2010). One of the project manager's key responsibilities is to be aware of stakeholders' needs and expectations and adequately inform them about the project (Biskupek, 2016). The key is to sustain viable and sustainable relations with stakeholders so they do not get against the project or remain unsatisfied with the situation. Particularly, the park had a safety incident, and now properly communicating with all stakeholders can be vital for the project's success and the planned reopening. The three stakeholders identified for this project are communities around the parks, employees, and media representatives. All of them have different needs and expectations from the project, requiring a personalized approach during communication. For the two of them, the impact of the park reopening project is quite high, while for the media, it is relatively lower.
