Know who matters before you need them.
A 90-minute session on identifying, engaging and strategizing around the people who can make or break your project, before it's too late to bring them along.
Before you book
Two minutes on what the session actually covers and who it's for.
The problem
A project can be technically sound and still stall, because someone with real influence was never brought into the conversation until it was too late.
The person who can quietly kill a project is rarely the one in the room with the loudest title.
Stakeholders get updated once a decision is made instead of shaping it earlier and it shows in the pushback.
Without a clear picture of who matters and why, every team member manages stakeholders differently.
If a project has ever stalled because the wrong person found out too late, this is the session that shows you how to prevent it.
The core idea
Identify, engage, strategize.
Stakeholder Mapping 101 gives you a practical method for identifying who actually matters to a project, understanding what they need and building a strategy to bring them along instead of catching them off guard.
How it works
The 90 minutes are the middle. What happens either side is what makes them stick.
No pre-work worksheet. Watch the two-minute intro above if you like, then just show up ready to think about your own project's stakeholders.
