Stakeholder Dialogue & Social Impact

Are you certain stakeholders trust you, or are you mostly talking to those who already agree?

Management structurally overestimates stakeholder trust, because conversations are mostly held with those who are already positive. Measurements end up being a feeling rather than a structured survey. Four departments often talk to the same party without coordination. Commitments aren't recorded and come back as grievances later, and signals reach the board table too late.

1

Trust Baseline

Internal survey alongside a structured external stakeholder survey. The difference between the two views is the first outcome.

2

Mapping and tracking

Influence × impact matrix with an owner per relationship, plus a commitment tracker with a deadline and clock per pledge.

3

Signals and materiality

Fixed signal rhythm to the board table and a link where stakeholders co-score in the double materiality analysis.

What it delivers

The front door delivers the Trust Baseline as a tool: an internal survey alongside a structured external stakeholder survey following a fixed conversation format. Alongside this, an influence × impact matrix with an owner per relationship, a commitment tracker per pledge, and a signal rhythm toward the board table. Stakeholders co-score in the double materiality analysis, read-first with esgia. For outreach beyond the fixed circle, and for affected-communities research and social value mapping, route 2 and route 3 modules with tool templates are available.

How it works

Enter stakeholders

The relevant stakeholders are recorded as the basis for the survey.

Internal and external survey

Management is surveyed internally, stakeholders externally following the fixed format.

Baseline report

The difference between the internal and external view becomes visible in the report.

Matrix, tracker and rhythm

Owners are linked to relationships, commitments get a clock, and the signal rhythm to the board table switches on, followed by an annual re-measurement.

What this explicitly is not

  • No proven track record There are no completed engagement trajectories to point to; the tool structures, it does not prove a track record.
  • No conversations outside the fixed circle, unless via route 2 Baseline conversations outside the fixed circle run through a partner, with the questionnaire as the script.
  • No promise about outcome The tool records and signals; what happens with the outcomes is up to the organisation itself.

Three outcomes

Every report ends in three routes. You choose; we deliver the analysis, not the engagement.

1

Do it yourself

Route 1 — do it yourself: matrix, tracker, rhythm and template questionnaires, with annual re-measurement.

2

Partly guided

Route 2 — partly guided: a partner conducts the external conversations outside the fixed circle, the tool aggregates the outcomes.

3

Outsource it

Route 3 — outsource: a full engagement programme with the partner, with the baseline as the starting measurement.

The next step

The bridge to the work scan

Stakeholder work is ongoing task work: surveying, recording, following up, reporting. The work scan shows which part AI can carry — monitoring, record-keeping, follow-up clocks — so that people hold the conversations and the machine does the rest.

We are building the datasets the analysis rests on. Let us know you're interested, and you'll hear as soon as the first measurements open up.
