Stakeholder Analysis
Map stakeholders by power and interest on a 2x2 grid. See who to manage closely, keep satisfied, inform, or monitor.
Example: CRM Implementation
A mid-size company rolling out a new CRM system mapped 6 stakeholders at the project kickoff. The Power/Interest Grid shaped the communication plan: CEO (high power, low interest) gets quarterly ROI summaries. Sales Director (high power, high interest) gets weekly alignment meetings. End users (low power, high interest) get training schedules and a feedback channel.
