Stakeholder mapping exercise Initial Assessment • Who are the stakeholders? • What is their level of influence on the project? • What is their level of support for the project? Movement Plan • How do the stakeholders need to be moved, if at all? • What will motivate them to move? (What’s in it for them?) Need to ask them questions to accomplish both steps.
Stakeholder Mapping - Considerations • Not all stakeholders need to be moved • They can move back as well as forwards • They are subjective - the more data, the more accurate the assessment • It’s never too early to start • Stakeholder documents are living things • Stakeholder documents are sensitive -treat with care!
PM Stakeholder Responsibilities • Manage stakeholder key • Identify need for specialist help • Monitor progress • Manage key client relationship • Ensure appropriate team participation • Follow movement and communication plan • Escalate stakeholder issues when needed • Clients also have stakeholder management responsibilities!
