COMPEL Glossary / GL-17
Stakeholder Engagement Plan
A structured plan that identifies all stakeholders affected by the AI transformation program, maps their influence and interest, and defines the engagement approach, communication cadence, and escalation paths for each stakeholder group.
What this means in practice
It ensures that governance, change management, and adoption activities are targeted at the right people with the right message at the right time.
Context in the COMPEL framework
Produced in the Calibrate stage as a prerequisite to Organize. Inadequate stakeholder engagement is one of the most common root causes of AI transformation failure.
Where you see this
Stakeholder Engagement Plan is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Calibrate and Organize stages — especially within the Operational Readiness layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
