Info Sheet
Creating an effective stakeholder engagement strategy is an
extremely important aspect of your overall change strategy. The
more engagement you have, the more commitment and positive
contribution you will have, and, as engagement goes up,
resistance goes down. However, stakeholder engagement is not
easy. It takes time and resources to coordinate involvement, and
takes people away from their normal operational jobs. This Info
Sheet will help you think through the key aspects of stakeholder
engagement in preparation for designing your engagement
strategy.
Tool
The purpose of this tool is to help you design your
stakeholder engagement strategy. On Worksheet 1 of this tool,
you will assess your track record with employee engagement. If
you have recently conducted a change history audit or employee
readiness and capacity assessment, review that data as input.
Worksheet 2 focuses on identifying the underlying assumptions
and beliefs your change leaders have about stakeholder
engagement. These assumptions may have played out in the
experiences you identified on Worksheet 1. You may want to think
about your answers first by yourself, before engaging your
entire change leadership team in this discussion. Worksheet 3
asks you strategic questions to prepare you for creating your
overall engagement strategy. Answer these questions with your
change leadership team. Using your insights and guidance from
Worksheets 1, 2, and 3, use Worksheet 4 to create your actual
engagement strategy for this change effort.

Worksheet 2:
