From Stakeholder Mapping to Management [Part 2]

Overview

This exercise builds on the previous stakeholder mapping. However, in this map, you will place the stakeholders along a scale to determine your stakeholder management strategy. This activity helps categorise stakeholders based on their level of involvement and influence, using the Inform, Consult, Co-create, and Co-own framework within the RECHARGE Participatory Business Model Canvas. It guides strategic stakeholder management by clarifying how to engage different groups effectively.

Definitions

These levels of engagement are adapted from and inspired by the IAP2 (International Association for Public Participation)

Implementation

Place Stakeholders on the Grid: Using sticky notes (or digital equivalents), participants place each stakeholder identified in the previous stakeholder mapping activity on the grid based on:

• Their level of involvement (how deeply they should be engaged—Inform, Consult, Co-create, Co-own).

Brainstorming Your Stakeholder Engagement Strategy: In the grid below, write out ideas for stakeholder engagement based on their level of involvement. Use the definition table to think about what kind of engagement activities you want to try out or existing activities you have that you could employ.
