Stakeholder Clarity Sprint

A 20-Minute Exercise to Identify Who Really Matters — and Who You Should Talk to First.

Stop Guessing. Start Engaging the People Who Actually Move the Dial.

You don’t need more meetings.
You need the right ones.

Too many organizations waste time talking to people who can’t move their issue forward — resulting in slow momentum, stalled files, and frustration.

The Stakeholder Clarity Sprint gives small teams a fast, practical way to answer one pivotal question:

👉 Who do we need to talk to — right now — to advance our issue?

In just 20 minutes, you’ll walk away with a mini-roadmap you can put to work immediately.

What’s Inside the Stakeholder Clarity Sprint

✔ The Three Questions Framework

A simple but powerful approach to instantly clarify:

  • Who matters

  • Why they matter

  • How they’re connected to your issue

✔ Stakeholder Quadrants (Influence × Interest)

Map your ecosystem visually so you stop over-investing in low-impact relationships and start focusing where it counts.

✔ The ‘First Five’ Rule

Identify the five stakeholders who will make the biggest impact on your file — and create your immediate action plan.

✔ Messaging Angles That Stick

Tailored prompts for:

  • Decision-makers

  • Influencers

  • Allies & supporters

  • Mobilizers and media

Know exactly what to say, how to position your message, and how to open the conversation.

Perfect For…

  • Small not-for-profit teams

  • Executive Directors with limited time

  • Communications & advocacy staff

  • Anyone trying to build momentum, secure meetings, or unblock a file

If you’re tired of spinning your wheels, this Sprint gives you the clarity you’ve been missing.
