Reducing stakeholder participation when implementation is behind schedule is counterproductive. Engaged stakeholders provide critical support, resources, and feedback that can help overcome obstacles. The IASP SPP curriculum stresses inclusive problem-solving and transparency during challenges to maintain trust and momentum. Reassessing schedules, reallocating resources, and adjusting scope are appropriate recovery actions. Reducing stakeholder involvement risks increased resistance, information gaps, and further delays.
