You will need to:
- Effectively manage stakeholders through the project.
- Work out the most appropriate way to communicate and engage with people (including the client) in both written and oral forms.
- Effectively analyse the subject matter of the project using the tools selected and to adapt approaches in the face of the emerging evidence.
- Appropriately manage the governance of the project to meet stakeholder expectations and ethics.
- Manage risks and issues through the project.
- Synthesise the data and develop a coherent and pragmatic case that the client can use as a basis for action.
- Appreciate areas of weakness in the project and suggest further areas of study.
- Proactively engage with the client throughout the project, this might include 1:1 meetings, facilitating workshops and/or group presentations.
