Infographic: Stakeholder Engagement Across the Program Lifecycle
This infographic walks you through a phase-by-phase diagnostic for spotting where your program is vulnerable — so you can get ahead of the wrong narrative, build real support at every level, and keep adoption on track long before go-live pressure arrives.

Most program teams underestimate how early the stakeholder dynamic starts moving. A go-live campaign, a training rollout, or a launch announcement are not where adoption is won or lost. By the time those moments arrive, months of quiet narrative formation, passive disengagement, and unmanaged expectations have already shaped how people feel about the program. In complex ERP and enterprise transformations, the gap between technical delivery and genuine adoption is almost always a people problem that started early and went unaddressed.
This infographic breaks down Stakeholder Engagement Across the Program Lifecycle — a diagnostic framework that gives program teams a clear view of what is actually at risk at each phase, from the very first design conversations through to post-go-live stabilisation. It reframes stakeholder engagement not as a communications task that runs alongside delivery, but as a core part of how serious programs protect their reputation, their adoption numbers, and their business case.
Developed from patterns observed across complex enterprise and ERP transformations, this tool is built for program sponsors, change leads, and CIOs who want to move from reactive firefighting to a structured understanding of where their program is strong and where it is exposed. For each of the six delivery phases, it surfaces the primary risk, maps what is typically at stake across stakeholder, adoption, and reputation dimensions, and gives teams the right questions to ask right now — not six months from now.
If your team cannot clearly answer what the dominant narrative is in the organisation right now, or where passive resistance is already forming, that uncertainty is itself a risk worth addressing.
