STIEM Model Template

This simple, ready to use STIEM Stakeholder Mapping template provides a structured and practical starting point for identifying, analyzing, and managing key stakeholders based on their typology, influence, expectations, and management measures, as defined in the STIEM model by Jünger & Wittmann (2021). The PowerPoint based format template enables rapid setup and disciplined stakeholder analysis, making it suitable for organizations of all sizes, from focused initiatives to large, complex transformation programs.

When to use:
At the early stages of strategy formulation, during strategy refresh cycles, business planning and transformation initiatives, program or project initiation, or when reassessing stakeholder dynamics, risks, and engagement priorities.

How to use:
Identify relevant internal and external stakeholders and classify them by typology. Assess the level and direction of influence between the stakeholder and the organization, clarify bilateral expectations and value exchanges, and define appropriate engagement strategies and management measures. Validate assessments through leadership interviews, stakeholder workshops, and cross functional discussions.

Outcome:
Develop a clear, structured, and shared understanding of stakeholder priorities and influence to support informed decision-making, targeted engagement strategies, risk mitigation, and effective strategy and execution alignment across the organization.
