Answer preview
Some of the expectations of the stakeholders such as involvement in the construction process and the management of the project after the Olympics may not be provided. Several strategies will be used to ensure all the expectations are within measurable critical control. One of the processes is clear communication of the responsibilities and the position of each stakeholder. Second is to have a clear relationship plan that define the power and duties of each stakeholder. The third strategy is a collaboration of stakeholder to ensure focusing more on the project as a team rather than independent stakeholders with independent roles.
