Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Power vs Interest Grid dictate communication strategy?
High Power/High Interest stakeholders require close collaborative management and frequent 1:1 consultation; High Power/Low Interest stakeholders must be kept satisfied with executive summaries to prevent sudden vetoes; Low Power/High Interest stakeholders should be kept informed as change advocates; Low Power/Low Interest stakeholders require minimal monitoring.
How does this register satisfy Candidate 41 (Communications & Stakeholder Management)?
Section 3 directly embeds the complete multi-channel communications cadence matrix, detailing communication channel, frequency, owner, and targeted content for every stakeholder group.
How often should the Stakeholder Sentiment Log be updated?
Stakeholder sentiment should be re-evaluated and recorded monthly during large transformations to catch emerging skepticism before it hardens into open resistance.
