More than 20 Europe District project and program managers attended a Risk Communication Course Dec. 3-6 in Wiesbaden, Germany. It was aimed at developing skill sets, building bridges and reaching common understanding in stakeholder engagement. The group took part in team exercises and discussions centered on the management of district projects and how to deal with difficult circumstances, should they arise. As part of each case study, students identified potential risks, crafted communication plans and learned how to write key messages. On the final day, they showed off their refined skills while assuming various roles at a mock meeting with “stakeholders.” The class was led by Torrie McAllister, Doris Marlin and Nancy Sticht, who work in public affairs or project management for USACE. The instructors say concepts taught can lead to significant savings in time, cost and resources. To read more about the workshop, click 1.usa.gov/JHlazi ( 1.usa.gov/JHlazi ) .
