Abstract

Background: Stakeholders play a pivotal role in the generation and mobilization of evidence-based change in organisations. However, few case studies capture the different relational approaches within and between stakeholder groups that enable complex change, in a complex health system. Our aim is to explain our approach to optimising stakeholder relationships in a large-scale project on advancing women in leadership within the Australian healthcare setting. Methods: We use a case study approach, underpinned by stakeholder theory to demonstrate how stakeholder relationships are understood in the Advancing Women in Healthcare Leadership (AWHL) project. We highlight the methods and interactions across five stakeholder groups including: women in the workforce; academic institutions; healthcare service providers; Medical and Nursing Colleges; and government agencies. Implications: Lessons drawn from this case study are transferrable to other settings, with comparable organisational-level change goals. Conclusion: This chapter provides insights that benefit organisations aiming to optimise stakeholder relationships to improve gender equity outcomes for women in leadership.
