Stakeholder power and interest grid: who to manage closely
Mendelow's grid places each stakeholder by how much power they hold against how much interest they take, and that position sets the engagement strategy for each one.
The top right corner earns the most attention and the bottom left the least. Plotting stakeholders here stops effort being spread evenly when it should concentrate where power meets interest.
Add a stakeholder and score their power and interest; each one moves to its quadrant on the board as you do.
Up to twelve stakeholders; names cap at forty characters. New entries start at the centre of the board.
