Info Sheet

Stakeholder Engagement: Opportunities, Types, and Vehicles (I.E.8)

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

Designing Your Engagement Strategy

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 1: Your Track Record with Stakeholder Engagement
Worksheet 2: Identifying Underlying Assumptions and Beliefs About Stakeholder Engagement
Worksheet 3: Preparing for Your Engagement Strategy
Worksheet 4: Creating Your Engagement Strategy
