Stakeholder Impact Map and Matrix
A practical worksheet to see how every project affects your stakeholders, your culture, and your business.
Ethics and compliance decisions touch many different stakeholders—employees, customers, third parties, leaders, and communities. Ethisphere’s Stakeholder Impact Map and Matrix is a simple, reusable worksheet that helps you quickly see who is affected by a project, where risks and opportunities sit, and what actions will have the biggest impact.
Whether you work in a public company or a privately held organization with concentrated ownership, this tool makes stakeholder impacts visible and concrete. Use it to connect project choices with trust, reputation, and long-term value in conversations with business leaders, owners, or boards.
Use this worksheet to:
- Map internal and external stakeholders for any project or product change
- Document positive and negative impacts for each stakeholder group
- Identify amplifiers that increase positive outcomes
- Flag mitigators that reduce or manage key risks
