Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Build Rapport with Stakeholders
Q: What kind of hints and tips can we tell our audience about that they could use in their working lives?
Carlos recommends preparing and personalizing engagement, listening first, finding common ground, keeping commitments, respecting roles, asking open questions, paraphrasing, reflecting others' language and being transparent. Michelle adds being approachable, consistent, appreciative and genuinely interested in others.
How to Build Rapport with Stakeholders
Q: How is rapport different from being friendly or being liked, and why might that distinction be important?
Michelle says prioritizing being liked can lead someone to agree to unrealistic requests, while genuine rapport depends on honest communication and working toward a suitable solution. Carlos adds that friendliness without reliable delivery can undermine credibility and trust.
How to Improve Digital Change Collaboration: An Introduction to Service Frameworks (feat. Chris Pyatt and Victoria Banner)
Q: How should a team communicate and implement a service framework?
You should evolve the team's practice, cross-check with skills frameworks, and present the framework in a visually engaging, stakeholder-friendly way so it's actually used.
How to Improve Digital Change Collaboration: An Introduction to Service Frameworks (feat. Chris Pyatt and Victoria Banner)
Q: Why is it useful to view change work through a service lens?
A service lens clarifies what we offer, helps co-create value with stakeholders, and sets boundaries that prevent scope drift, making collaboration more effective.
How to Improve Digital Change Collaboration: An Introduction to Service Frameworks (feat. Chris Pyatt and Victoria Banner)
Q: What is a service framework?
It describes the range of services offered by a profession (e.g., business analysis) and provides a base set that teams can customize to fit their organization and work with stakeholders.
