18F - Stakeholder Influence Mapping
Stakeholder Influence Mapping visually represents people affecting your project's success. It positions them by power and interest. This 45-minute exercise helps teams identify who needs active engagement versus updates, potential blockers, and champions. Map stakeholders on axes like influence/interest or support/opposition. The visualization guides communication, invitations, and political navigation. Teams discover hidden influencers, coalition partners, and stakeholder risks. Update the map as relationships evolve.
