Stakeholder Engagement Assessment Matrix

A table that shows each stakeholder's current level of engagement alongside the level the project team aims to achieve.

Key Points

  • Highlights gaps between current and desired engagement for every stakeholder or group.
  • Often uses categories such as Unaware, Resistant, Neutral, Supportive, and Leading.
  • Guides the development of targeted engagement and communication strategies to close gaps.
  • Should be reviewed and updated regularly as stakeholder attitudes and influence change.

Example

A project manager maps stakeholders for a new ERP rollout. The operations director is currently Resistant but needs to be Supportive. The team plans early demos, one-on-one meetings, and involvement in requirements workshops to move the director from Resistant to Supportive. The sponsor is already Leading and will champion key messages to help shift others.

ICS/OT Incident Response Drills and Exercises

An incident response plan is only a theory until the people who must use it have run it under pressure. This course helps OT engineers, operations leaders, IT responders, and security teams turn a plan on paper into a tested capability.

Define safe states and manual fallback before an incident forces the decision. Build escalation paths, tabletop exercises, and scenarios that expose the gaps a document review cannot find.

Then turn the results into evidence: an after-action report, owned improvements, recovery checks, and a drill cadence that keeps the program alive after the exercise ends.
