''The following video comes to you from a current Fellow, Ben Matthews (University of Virginia) who writes:<br><br>''We've been trying to encourage movement from Stage 3: "I'm great (and you're not)" to Stage 4 and 5 "We're great" and "Life is great" which we are finding more and more is important in making a huge impact [across the entire campus] like we are trying to do with #uifresh."''<br><br>

Rather than leave these potential outcomes to chance, we introduced the Stakeholder Meeting in Fall 2015, asking all new candidates to hold such a meeting early in their involvement with the Fellows program. Please set your date now, even if circumstances change and you have to be flexible with schedules. This will allow you to communicate the date, time and location to people you meet as part of your outreach of the coming weeks.<br><br>
This in-person, face-to-face meeting is an opportunity for you to invite a small handful of campus leaders (faculty, administration and students) who are supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship. Invite those students leaders who are directly responsible for, or potentially responsible for, an expanded innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. Your invite list should be about 10 people. In addition, make sure to including previously-trained University Innovation Fellows on your campus.

Campus I&E leaders, including administration, faculty and student leaders. Many of the stakeholders will be from distinctly different departmental/college silos. Include your faculty sponsor(s) and all Fellows currently at your school. The Fellows and your sponsor are instrumental to continued success and this is a great way to illustrate that continuity.

|content=<br>[[2020:Training/Submitting Assignments|Submit]] the tentative details of your stakeholder meeting with us by September 12.<br><br>In the meantime, sketch out your plan. We are you asking you to only schedule one stakeholder meeting per campus, ideally around week 5 of training (week of October 7). After this meeting, you are required to submit artifacts to us. These artifacts may include photos, attendee lists, agendas and outcomes. They most certainly will not include videos of the event.<br><br>''NOTE{{Fmbox|image=none| style = border:5px solid #008b8b; background-color: #f1fcf8;|text={{Fmbox|image=none|text=If your campus sponsored new Fellows in the last cycle, consider whether it is too soon to convene another such meeting.

|title=What happens in a Stakeholder Meeting?
|content=<br>
We are not prescriptive about the exact agenda and format. We believe you have a strong sense for how to facilitate an impactful conversation. As we mentioned previously, you may want to incorporate three key components:<br>
# Reveal the results of your research. What is your view of the landscape, including all the components that serve the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem? Chances are, most in the audience will not be aware of the full breadth of offerings. Make sure you distill what you believe are the key insights and takeaways about ways to enhance the ecosystem. Share your hypothesis for enhancements to the ecosystem and whether or not your hypothesis were validated. If ready, share the YouTube video you've created in Session 6: Storytelling. Leave plenty of time for discussion, questions and comments.
# The other important aspect of this meeting is to simply bring together the campus I&E community. Innovation and entrepreneurship come from interdisciplinary collaboration. If done right, many of the stakeholders will be from distinctly different departmental/college silos. By networking them together, you greatly improve the chances for student and faculty coordination and collaboration over time. You'll come to understand who is already connected to whom. And, you may catalyze some new connections between potential collaborators. Finally, it'll be valuable for them to meet the Fellows team at your school and see you as a key resource.
Optional: If your stakeholder meeting ends up being after launch, you can combine this with the pinning ceremony. The pinning kit will be mailed to you following launch (which will take place on October 28).<br><br>
'''Make it fun.'''<br><br>
Think about making the event a great experience for all involved. Space matters. If the space isn't inspiring, use images and artifacts to inspire participants. As people arrive and during portions of the event when people are networking, play carefully selected background music ... not too loud, but just right to set the mood and tone. Here's a [https://open.spotify.com/user/125552742/playlist/23tJztpnEwHY3bBw7udqpW Spotify 2017 UIF Chill Playlist] for some ideas. A small budget for pretzels or pizza is always helpful to encourage socialization, but if you're lacking a budget it is not the end of the world. People are there for a shared purpose. So, be creative and make it meaningful! Post photos and comments about the event in the forum. <br><br>The rest of this page has useful tools as you navigate relationships with stakeholders on campus. They cover topics as diverse as negotiation, carrying yourself powerfully, to great leadership requiring vulnerability.

The following two pages are recommended reading from a very successful faculty sponsor who believes in the power of student-led change. His experience in leadership within the military and in business school enables him to mentor several young male and female UIF in the art of understanding the way people can and do exert power. When conscientiously aware of how people are interacting with you, and how best to interact with certain people, we have the ability to go beyond institutional resistance or feelings of your campus not liking ideas being shared. We have the ability to build a coalition of support, and expand our base of power, by leveraging Fellows, and also student leaders across the institution.<br><br>

Great leaders prepare well in advance of arriving to the negotiating table. Read this excellent article from Harvard Business Review, called 3-D Negotiation: Playing the Whole Game.

As coalition builders, we hope you will be leveraging your referential power to lead by example and inspire other student leaders to work alongside you to strengthen the overall ecosystem. Hopefully, your stakeholder meeting is the first of many in a series of bringing people together. Ben and his colleagues convened a series of very successful all-student-leader luncheons on campus. These meetings were designed to pull people in beyond just the 4 or 5 UIFs to have everyone share perspectives and data about the I&E ecosystem, and think about solutions. <br><br>They used the PDF below as a means to frame the conversation, engage participants in breakout groups and design potential solutions. These solutions were very similar, if not the same as what the original four UIFs had conceived in training, except for one important difference. By going through this process with the larger group, they got buy-in, additional rich feedback, perspective and volunteers to help make the vision a reality. In a sense, they deployed the consultation strategy outlined in the PDF below. How are you going to build a broader coalition on campus to drive big outcomes and influence change?<br><br>*PDFVIEWER PLACEHOLDER{{#widget:PDF |url=https://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/w/images/8/80/20171004_Beginners_tutorial_to_Semantic_MediaWiki.pdf |width=750 |height=600}}}}<br><br>

Leadership requires human connection, which comes from our ability to empathize, belong and love. Watch Brene Brown's TED talk, "The Power of Vulnerability."
