Critical decisions and policies to drive prosperity are often complex, requiring the mobilization of stakeholders with a diverse set of perspectives and interests. The most successful development initiatives are those that take diverse and dynamic constituencies into account. This helps to identify responsive win-win solutions and garner lasting, sustainable support for the change agenda.

Monitor has developed a powerful suite of tools to facilitate the systematic collection, depiction, and analysis of relevant information about key decision-makers. Monitor’s approach to any competitiveness engagement tackles a number of critical questions, including: Who are the key stakeholders? What is the structure of relationships among these groups? What are the predominant interests of each? And how can these interests be traded or aligned to develop sustainable solutions in a dynamic society?

Success is driven by a deep understanding of the actual behavior of stakeholders and the causes or drivers of this behavior. Monitor’s mapping and framing technologies help clients clearly visualize the landscape of constituencies and interests that matter, along with the ways in which they are influenced by one another. Monitor’s approach helps clients identify overlaps in positions and sources of value that can be efficiently traded, in order to find meaningful ways to “influence the influencer.” Ultimately, this supports a strategic sequence for the engagement of constituents.

Beyond empowering clients with this analysis, Monitor supports and coaches clients as they engage internal and external constituencies. Monitor has experience supporting leaders of change in a variety of settings. These range from the management and implementation of change within an institution to the successful delivery of results in complex, multi-party, and cross-border negotiations. In each environment, Monitor partners with clients to effectively understand and engage counterparts, and to craft win-win solutions that facilitate collaboration and pave the way for effective implementation.

With this offering, leaders are able to:

• Map the key drivers, behavior patterns, and interrelationships between relevant decision-makers and influencers
• Optimally sequence stakeholder engagement strategies to build broad support
• Drive collective action toward implementing a common agenda
