Aejaz Shaikh PM I| Alyx Technologies India Pvt Ltd Pune, Maharshatra, India

Stakeholder engagement wrt to the Power - Interest grid, People with High Power - Low Interest need to kept in the loop and must be kept satisfied, even if they are not interested.
How do we keep this kind of stakeholders satisfied when we know they are not interested or what measures we should take to keep them satisfied?

I would first define what 'satisfied' means to this particular stakeholder. Does their low interest also mean a lack of motivation to attend meetings or view statuses? I find centralizing project information, easily accessible, and with daily or weekly summaries automatically sent out bring key identified details to project stakeholders.

The first thing is to think about those stakehodlers must change of quadrant in accordance to your project requirements. Second, I am in the same page than Andrew about satisfaction. The key hear which is something missign when people perform stakeholder analysis is: you have to make eliciation activities. I mean, to put a stakeholder into a quadrant is because she/he has expressed it after elicitation not because the project manager (or people who is performing stakeholder analysis) think that is the quadrant where the stakeholder has to be located because some project characteristics. So, inside the elicitation activity, you can detect the satisfaction level you have to cover and how to cover it.

Hi Aejaz,

Stakeholder analysis drives communication management plan. Best and effective way is to request each influential stakeholder about type, frequency, and format for project information.
