Stakeholder Mapping & Engagement Plan

Use this form to capture each stakeholder or stakeholder group relevant to your initiative. For each submission, rate influence and interest, note key concerns, propose engagement tactics, and record owner, cadence, and risk mitigations. Submit one stakeholder at a time — each submission becomes an entry in your stakeholder register that you can review, filter, and export. Below is a short example to help you get started:

Example: CIO — Influence 9, Interest 6, Segment: High Influence/High Interest. Key concerns: budget and timeline. Engagement tactic: weekly check-in, executive summary emails, invite to steering committee. Risk: scope creep — Mitigation: define change control process and escalate early.

Tip: If you plan to map stakeholders visually, submit all stakeholders first, then use exported data to plot an influence/interest grid or import into a visualization tool.
