K-12 Stakeholder Assessment Toolkit for District Technology Leaders

As CTOs pursue change initiatives in their districts, poor stakeholder communication can easily derail good faith efforts to implement, update, or decommission technology. CTOs and change leaders can set themselves up for success by addressing two common change management pitfalls. Firstly, by assessing stakeholders across the district and tailoring communication efforts; and secondly, recognizing those stakeholders who may lack perceived power but may hold sufficient power to veto change.

For any given project or change, this toolkit from the District Technology Leadership Forum includes frameworks to systematically identify and assess stakeholder needs, develop tailored engagement goals, and craft compelling messages to drive support.
