7.1.2. Stakeholders of an EU project Listen / Read / Discuss / Exercise One of the secrets of successful project management is the art of satisfying as many stakeholders as possible to the highest possible degree. The difficulty is in identifying all relevant stakeholders involved during the project’s lifetime, in identifying their interests and demands in relation to each others and finding a way of satisfying them properly. Some of the stakeholders are easier to be identified, others are more difficult. Also their interests and demands are not always easy to distinguish. As an exercise, please think about the AESAEC project, during which this training course was developed. Who do you think its stakeholders are What are their interests and how could they be satisfied Stakeholders of EU projects, using the example of the AESAEC project: ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ Should you already have your own project or project idea, explain who the stakeholders of your project are and how their interests and demands can be satisfied Listen / Read / Discuss 7.1.3. Contractual relations and their possible impact on the project management Some of the main stakeholders in EU projects are even connected to each other by contractual relations. Usually, this includes the funding body (European Commission, EACEA, National Agencies etc.), the promoter or beneficiary (lead partner) and the project partner(s). At least the relationship between the funding body and the promoter is always regulated by standardised contracts issued by the EC and there is little to discuss about them. Also the partner(s) and promoter can be linked to each other by more or less standardised written agreements. In general, there are three 118
Module 7 – How to Implement a Project Successfully different kinds of contractual relationships that these parties can have with each other and the one opted for may also influence the style of the project management 7 : 1. The Sandwich Structure Promoter, P 1 P 2 P 3 … P n The EC stands in a contractual relationship only with the project’s promoter (Partner 1) and only between these two parties are all responsibilities, rights and duties concerning the overall project implementation settled. The same contractual relationship exists between the promoter and all other project partners (P2, P3 …), containing each partner’s rights and duties in the project. Important is that there is no contractual relationship between the EC and the individual project partners. Examples: multilateral and network project in the Lifelong Learning Programme. 2. The Primus inter pares Structure Promoter, P 1 P 2 P 3 … P n The EC stands in a direct contractual relationship with all organisations involved in the project (promoter and partners), and each organisation’s tasks, rights and duties are directly settled with the EC (mostly represented by different national agencies). In this structure, the promoter may, in most cases, also lead the project but it is not linked with the partners by a contractual agreement. Examples: Grundtvig and Leonardo Learning Partnerships 3. The One for All Structure Promoter, P 1 P 2 P 3 … P n Here the EC stands again in a contractual relationship with only the project’s promoter but the promoter is not necessarily related with the project partners by a contract. The promoter is only responsible to the EC for ensuring that the project is implemented successfully and according to the programme’s regulations. How partners contribute to the project, how the budget is shared in detail or what happens when troubles occur between the project group partners etc. is officially not put into writing (but could be a matter for individual negotiations and arrangements). Examples: Leonardo Mobility Projects, Town Twinning 7 There is no official terminology for the structures introduced above; all names used here are creations by the author and are therefore not commonly known. 119
