Stakeholder management

Know who matters most, what they really think of you, and how to win their support.

Why it matters

The people who can help or block you rarely say so out loud.

Regulators, investors, partners, unions, community groups. Each one sees you differently, and most organisations guess what they think. We replace the guesswork with evidence.

1

Everyone gets the same message

Investors, regulators and partners care about different things. One message for all of them lands with none.

2

You don't know who is quietly against you

Concerns build in private, then surface at the worst moment: an approval, a launch, a vote.

3

Relationships live in one person's head

When that person leaves, so does the trust. Nothing is written down or measured.

How we do it

Map them. Measure them. Then win them over.

01Where we start

Map

List everyone who can help or block you, and rank them by influence and interest.

02

Measure

Find out what each group really thinks of you, through confidential research.

03

Plan

Decide what each group needs to hear, from whom, and how often.

04

Track

Check how support is shifting, and adjust before small concerns become big ones.

  • A stakeholder map, ranked by influence and how supportive each group is
