The Visual Agile Coach Stakeholder Engagement
The Visual Agile Coach Stakeholder Engagement Mirror
For when you’re ready to look in the mirror and move from Stakeholder Management to Stakeholder Engagement.
Where your needs are mirrored – and aligned - to those of your Stakeholders.
Why Create a Stakeholder Engagement Mirror?
To proactively engage, develop and improve Stakeholder relationships – going beyond the ‘tick box’ to cultivating a mutually beneficial outcome-based relationship.
When to Create a Stakeholder Engagement Mirror?
Stakeholders have been identified and categorised
Prior to a meeting when stakeholders will be in the room
Traditional - RACI based – Stakeholder Management is not working
Stakeholder relationships need a reset or reinvigorating
Visual Agile Coaching Tips
Stakeholder Engagement isn’t a single email or meeting. It is a process over time. The Stakeholder Engagement Mirror helps plan that journey
You may even have to go back to the start or reverse a few steps to get a Stakeholder relationship back on track
Not 1 size fits all: Stakeholder relationships are unique, tailor and flex your approach
It’s worth asking yourself why even the scariest, disengaged, blocking stakeholder behaves like they do. Use empathy to better understand why they act the way they do
Stakeholder Engagement is an ongoing activity and the type of engagement activities, relationships, needs and wants will evolve over the course of the project or relationship
