How Do You Create A Stakeholder Map?
Stakeholders are anyone who has an interest, or stake, in the outcome of a project; bosses, co-workers, customers, spouses and family, and the community. Stakeholder maps are a way to show who the main stakeholders in a project are and where they fall in influence or power, and in interest. Someone may be highly interested in your project, but not have the power to help it along. Another person may have the power to help, but no interest in helping. A stakeholder map is a visual way to place the key people in this project and its success in a framework so that you know how to handle them at a glance. There are several ways to map your stakeholders. Divide your main stakeholders into the basic categories of influential or not and interested or not, and to what degree. Draw a two-dimensional graph with the left side being influence and the bottom being interest. The more influential, the higher the position and the more interested, the farther to the right they should go. Plot your stake
