Engagement plan
Using the power/interest grid
- Manage closely (high power, high interest): your key players. Involve them in decisions and never let them be surprised.
- Keep satisfied (high power, low interest): brief them concisely; escalate only what matters to them.
- Keep informed (low power, high interest): often end users. Great sources of feedback and champions.
- Monitor (low power, low interest): minimal effort, but watch for changes.
Stakeholders move. A reorganisation can turn a "monitor" into a "manage closely" overnight — re-map at every phase gate. Full guide: stakeholder management.
