Exercise produced exclusively for participants of the Applying Strategic Influence.
In part two (Stakeholder Mapping and Analysis) we covered the need to analyse individual stakeholders.
Use this exercise as many times as you need, and ideally for all of the important stakeholders who you are placing on your map. If you need to, refer back to a more detailed exploration of the sources of power: Seven Sources of Power.
For each key stakeholder:
Which sources of power do they use most?
Specifically, ow do they use each?
Why do these sources work well for them?
What sources are they most influence by?
Why is that?
How does their power compare to others on your stakeholder map?
