Yue Zhao

Build your influence strategy with stakeholder mapping

Feeling stuck on key decisions?

People nodding in agreement yet projects fail to progress?

New leadership revisiting decisions and randomizing your team?

In larger organizations, the informal "org chart" can hold more power than the official org chart. And it can be challenging to navigate.

Influence maps are a great way to clearly understand the people dynamics of a decision, project, or proposal. It allows you to see strategies and paths forward that may not have been obvious, or realize where you need to spend more time.

In this one-hour workshop, you'll learn how to draw influence maps, what to look for in them, and how to create an action plan based on the learnings.
