Knowing your stakeholders is crucial to creating value and deliver the results that are within the purpose of the team. Often teams focus on specific stakeholders: the ones that are loudest or the ones that are most bought-in to the deliverables of the team.
But who is the one you always forget and how can we bring them in the room? Often the ones we ignore are the ones that give most trouble down the road!
By creating a clear stakeholder map and including all stakeholders in the process of setting clear goals you will ensure maximum value delivered to the wider system. It will give the team the clarity, commitment and sense of accountability needed to deliver the results.
