Date: 📅 March 1, 2027 (Monday)

Time: ⏰ 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM (Asia/Manila)

Location: 📍 Live via Google Meet

💡 Are Misaligned Expectations and Miscommunication Stalling Your Community Tech Rollouts?

Deploying technology in community settings—whether municipal digital platforms, public open-source tools, smart barangay systems, or non-profit software—requires balancing vastly different priorities. Local government leads, tech developers, community elders, privacy advocates, and end-users often hold competing agendas, varying digital literacy levels, and conflicting definitions of project success. Without structured conflict resolution and inclusive stakeholder governance, technical initiatives risk delays, low adoption rates, or complete project abandonment.

What if you could master proven stakeholder management frameworks to align diverse groups, navigate resistance proactively, and turn conflicting opinions into collaborative, high-impact community solutions?

Are you struggling to navigate stakeholder friction in tech projects?

• ❌ Competing Agendas: Balancing the fast-paced delivery goals of developers against bureaucratic procedures or community concerns

• ❌ Digital Inclusion & Literacy Gaps: Facing pushback or fear from non-technical community members who feel alienated by new tools

• ❌ Scope Creep & Changing Mandates: Managing unstructured feedback and conflicting feature requests from multiple leadership tiers

• ❌ Breakdown of Trust: Experiencing communication breakdowns during project delays, privacy concerns, or unexpected system failures

The Goal: Equip project leads, public sector IT managers, civic tech advocates, agency leads, and community organizers with structured conflict resolution models, negotiation tactics, and collaborative governance workflows tailored for community-driven tech projects.
