Webinar 59: Who Signed Off on This? How Stakeholder Non-Involvement Destroys Training Impact
This webinar is scheduled for August 20, 2026, 9 a.m. EDT
Zainab, an independent L&D consultant, had just landed a contract with DeltaCore Engineering Ltd. The HR Manager made a confident request:
“We need communication training for our junior engineers; they are not escalating issues, and it is delaying our project timelines.”
Zainab designed the session, secured the budget, and delivered the training. Feedback forms were glowing. Her client was pleased.
Until four weeks later.
The Managing Director called in frustration:
“We just lost a ₦20 million project. The engineers didn’t speak up again. I thought you trained them?”
Zainab was stunned. She had.
But when she later spoke to the Head of Projects, the truth emerged:
“These delays are not because of poor communication. It is fear. These guys don’t speak up because our culture punishes mistakes.”
There it was:
No one had spoken for the business.
No stakeholder helped define the real issue.
Zainab’s training was solid but misaligned.
Now her reputation was at risk.
