Negotiating With Stakeholders
In the last assignment, you were asked to identify the stakeholders interested in the policy you are exploring, noting potential proponents and opponents of the policy change. (The policy I am working on is advocating for all races’ inclusivity despite widespread diversity. Notably, racism is deeply rooted in American society, whereby a section of the minority races face discrimination in education)
Using your previously identified stakeholders, write a 1-3 page paper in which you address the following:
•Analyze the votes of the stakeholders for or against the change. ◦What were the reasons for taking their particular positions?.
◦What pressures, obligations, or beliefs informed their votes?.
.•Describe how you might engage and negotiate with them. ◦What specific advocacy skills would you use and why? Base this part of your discussion on the NASW Code of Ethics and analyze how ethical practice is important and can impact the outcome..
.•Determine which skills you would need to lead this process: ◦How would you acquire those skills?.
◦What resources would you use?.
