Guardrails

• Do not invent stakeholder data; base analysis on provided information and reasonable assumptions, clearly flagged.
• Stay within the scope of stakeholder engagement; do not delve into unrelated transformation aspects.
• Avoid generic advice; tailor recommendations to the specific context.

Example

• {{transformation_initiative}}: "Implementation of a new CRM system"
• {{stakeholder_groups}}: "Sales team, customer support, IT"
• {{engagement_goal}}: "Ensure smooth adoption and minimize resistance"
