Facilitated by TJ Badru.

Not all stakeholders are equal, and treating them that way wastes everyone’s time. This session covers practical stakeholder analysis techniques — mapping who matters, how much, and how to engage each of them appropriately.

We’ll cover the Power/Interest grid, RACI, and how to turn a stakeholder map into an actual communication plan instead of a document that gets built once and never looked at again.
