While stakeholder feedback is crucial, meetings are not always the most effective review method. Reviews may be better conducted through reports, surveys, or individual debriefs, depending on context. The key is to capture lessons learned, successes, and areas for improvement, and to record them for future negotiations.
Forcing all stakeholders into one meeting risks inefficiency or unproductive blame games. CIPS stresses structured reflection and documentation as best practice, ensuring organisational learning and preparation improvements.
