Stakeholder Mapping Template

What this stakeholder mapping template includes

An internal stakeholder map includes four quadrants and a sliding scale for both influence and urgency. There are four ways to manage your communication with stakeholders:

Keep Satisfied:

• • Identify stakeholders with high influence and strong support for your project or initiative.
  • Prioritize these stakeholders to ensure their needs and expectations are met.
  • Regularly engage with them to maintain their support.
  • Recognize that keeping satisfied stakeholders is critical for ongoing cooperation.

Manage Closely:

• • Identify stakeholders with high influence but potential resistance or opposition.
  • Devote extra attention to these stakeholders to address their concerns.
  • Develop targeted communication and engagement strategies to build trust. 

Monitor:

• • Identify stakeholders with lower influence but who may have an interest or potential impact on your project or initiative.
  • Monitor their activities or concerns.
  • Monitor changes in their level of influence over time.
  • Send them relevant information. 

Keep Informed:

• • Identify stakeholders with low influence and minimal impact on your project or initiative.
  • Keep them informed about project updates and developments to maintain transparency.
  • Send them relevant information.
