Planning is only as strong as the voices you include.

In this episode of Plan, Do, Grow, Christine Brown from Future Excel breaks down the power of stakeholder mapping - a practical tool to help third sector organisations clarify who matters most and how to involve them in meaningful ways.

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify a wide range of stakeholders beyond the usual suspects

• Use a simple influence/interest grid to map them

• Spot gaps, overreliance, and underrepresented voices

• Use stakeholder insights to shape your priorities, risks, and planning

• Connect the exercise back to your strategic framework

Whether you're launching a new project or refreshing your strategy, this episode gives you a clear process for making stakeholder engagement purposeful and not just polite.

🎧 Listen in and rethink who’s in the room when you plan.
