Stakeholder Mapping

A visual technique that plots stakeholders by their level of influence and interest to guide engagement and communication strategies.

Key Points

  • Often presented as a power-interest grid that groups stakeholders into quadrants.
  • Helps prioritize who to manage closely, keep satisfied, keep informed, or simply monitor.
  • Informs tailored communication: message content, frequency, and channels by stakeholder segment.
  • Should be updated as stakeholder influence, interest, or project context changes.

Example

On an enterprise software rollout, the executive sponsor is high influence/high interest (manage closely), the compliance department is high influence/low interest (keep satisfied), end users are low influence/high interest (keep informed), and a distant vendor is low influence/low interest (monitor). The team schedules weekly check-ins with the sponsor, quarterly briefings for compliance, monthly newsletters for users, and occasional status notes for the vendor.
