Harnessing the Policy Power of Stakeholder Mapping
The Beeck Center’s guide on “Harnessing the Policy Power of Stakeholder Mapping” offers a comprehensive approach to understanding and visualizing the complex web of stakeholders involved in policy issues. The resource emphasizes the importance of collaboration between policymakers and designers to create stakeholder maps that clearly identify key players and their relationships. By doing so, teams can better anticipate the impact of their policies on different stakeholders and design more effective, user-centered solutions. The guide includes practical steps for conducting stakeholder mapping workshops, both in-person and remotely, and provides scripted instructions to facilitate the process. This resource aims to help policy analysts, designers, and public servants develop a shared understanding of their stakeholders, leading to more successful policy outcomes.
