Stakeholder Assessment

Stakeholder Engagement

Unaware: Create awareness! Share newsletters, project updates,

make personal contact and communicate about their

responsibilities and what they can do to support the project.

Resistant: Develop a degree of understanding. Communicate common ground and highlight mutual benefits. Use consultation,

feedback, & friendly debate. For authority positions, find areas for

compromise and concession to allay their concerns. Don’t dictate

terms or solutions to prevent alienation.

Neutral: Share good news and positive results to gain support. Tailor

communication to their expectations. Don’t be pushy or over attendance and risk creating resistance.

Stakeholder Engagement (cont.)

Supportive: Get commitment. Make sure they are involved and

aware of what their contribution and commitment to the project.

Give feedback, share confidences, ask opinions. Show appreciation for these stakeholders’ opinions and contribution to

achieving objectives.

Leading: Develop and maintain alliances. Meet or make contact on a regular basis. Foster collaborative partnerships, use collective

problem-solving, and make public acknowledgements of their

successes.
