Managing numerous stakeholders with varying priorities is not an easy task no matter how organized you are, and nothing is more frustrating than getting months into a project and realizing that the output isn’t meeting expectations. While there are many places for a project to go off track, typically, you can trace the trouble to a breakdown in communications somewhere in the early stages of the project. As a project manager, it’s my job to make sure communications go well, which is why I’d like to share with you my top five steps for ensuring project communication success.  [Read More](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/ensure-communication-success) ## [Implementing Change and Influencing Best Practices with Benchmarking](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/best-practices-with-benchmarking) Jul 2, 2014, 2:00:00 PM / by [Holly Maki](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/author/holly-maki) posted in [Maturity Models Benchmarking](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/topic/maturity-models-benchmarking) [0 Comments](https://blog.associationbenchmarking.com/best-practices-with-benchmarking#comments-listing) ![](https://www.dynamicbenchmarking.com/sites/default/files/stock2.png) *This month's article is authored by Dynamic Benchmarking's latest recruit Holly Maki, Project Manager.
