  • Infrastructure projects<\/li>
  • Roadworks<\/li>
  • Multi-party projects<\/li>
  • Area developments<\/li>

            A simple approach:<\/p>

            1. Map all stakeholders<\/li>
            2. Determine who needs what information<\/li>
            3. Ensure one central source of information<\/li>
            4. Align communication and actions<\/li>
            5. Plan extensive moments of alignment<\/li>
            6. Keep information up to date<\/li><\/ol>

              By following these steps, clarity and an overview are created.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
