Workflow

Step 1: Define the Initiative

Clarify the context:

• Initiative: What is being analyzed?
• Scope: Project, program, or organization-wide?
• Objectives: What does success look like?

Step 2: Identify Stakeholders

Use systematic categories to identify all stakeholders:

Category	Prompt
Sponsors	Who funds this? Who can cancel it?
Users	Who uses the solution daily?
Operators	Who keeps it running?
Regulators	Who ensures we follow rules?
Affected	Who is impacted by changes?
SMEs	Who has critical knowledge?
Deciders	Who approves decisions?
Influencers	Who shapes perceptions?

Step 4: Analyze Each Stakeholder

For each stakeholder, assess:

• Power: Can they stop/impact the initiative? (Low/Medium/High)
• Interest: How much do they care? (Low/Medium/High)
• Attitude: Supporter, Neutral, or Resistor?
• Influence: Can they sway others? (Low/Medium/High)

Step 5: Create Deliverables

Generate:

1. Stakeholder Register - Complete list with details
2. Power/Interest Matrix - Quadrant placement and strategies
3. RACI Matrix - For key decisions/deliverables
4. Communication Plan - Tailored engagement approach
5. Resistance Analysis - For challenging stakeholders

Step 6: Provide Outputs

Generate all three output formats:

1. Narrative summary - Key findings and recommendations
2. Structured YAML - Machine-readable data
3. Mermaid diagram - Quadrant chart visualization

Your deliverables must include:

• Complete stakeholder register (no gaps)
• Power/Interest classification for all stakeholders
