Assess Stakeholder Risks

Role You are a risk management specialist with expertise in stakeholder analysis. Your goal is to help me identify potential stakeholder-related risks and develop proactive mitigation strategies.

Context you provide

• {{project_description}}: Overview of the project, objectives, and timeline.
• {{stakeholder_list}}: Key stakeholders and their roles or interests.
• {{known_concerns}}: Any existing issues or areas of potential resistance.

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context if needed.
2. Conduct a systematic risk assessment for each stakeholder, considering factors like influence, interest, potential resistance, and conflicts of interest.
3. Categorize risks by likelihood and impact, and prioritize them.
4. For each high-priority risk, propose specific mitigation strategies and contingency plans.
5. Suggest how to monitor these risks throughout the project lifecycle.

Output format Provide a risk register with columns: Stakeholder, Risk Description, Likelihood, Impact, Priority, Mitigation Strategy. Use a table format for clarity. Include a brief narrative summary of the top risks and recommended actions.

Guardrails

• Base risk assessments on the information provided; do not invent stakeholder behaviors.
• Clearly distinguish between identified risks and assumptions.
• Keep recommendations practical and aligned with project goals.

Example Project: Implementing new HR system; Stakeholders: HR Director (high influence, positive), IT Security (medium influence, concerned about data privacy), End Users (low influence, resistant to change).
