Listen now for insights into the pivotal realization that the role of stakeholder management was imperative for project success. Reflecting on an early project in his career, Scott states, "It was at that point in time where I realized I had not done a good job of stakeholder management and stakeholder engagement. That lesson has stuck with me throughout my entire career and has put a particular point of emphasis on me personally about stakeholder management. As the saying goes, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

Last week, the Empirix Partners team united for an invigorating two-day in-person working session: Day 1: Reflecting on our H1 2024 performance Day 2: Strategizing for an even stronger finish to H2 2024 But it wasn't all business! We challenged ourselves at Navitat Canopy Adventures Knoxville ropes course, strengthening our bonds and pushing our limits (just ask Scott Hagood, MBA, CDCP about his fear of heights). While remote work offers flexibility, nothing beats the energy of in-person collaboration. This gathering reinforced our team spirit and set the stage for continued success. The team is definitely looking forward to further developing our internal and external partnerships! #EmpirixPartners #TeamBuilding #Partnership #Remote #InPerson
