Diplomats and professionals operating in multilateral and international arenas are required to promote dialogue and coordination at early stages in order to deliver effective projects and generate mutual benefits. Diplomacy efforts need to be coordinated and different organisations, governments, and other key stakeholders can be significantly engaged in such efforts.
As foreign and domestic policy goals are more global and interdependent and technological changes allow us to engage more rapidly and directly than ever before, diplomats must work with a wider range of constituencies beyond government. Diplomats, government officials, and other professionals, in general, need to know how to listen and engage with a diversity of groups.
