Coalition in Project Management

🧩 Behind Every Successful Training Project? A Coalition.

Working in learning & development, I’ve seen this time and again:

You can have the best-designed training solution — aligned, evidence-based, beautifully packaged — and it still stalls.

Why?

Because no training project moves forward on logic alone. It moves with support.

When I negotiate for time, resources, or buy-in for a specific training project, I look for:

 🔍 Who else has a stake in this challenge?

 🔗 Whose goals align (even slightly) with this project’s outcomes?

 🤝 Who has informal influence and could advocate behind closed doors?

That’s how a coalition is born. Not always formal, but powerful.

💬 Training projects don’t just need a great design — they need champions.
