What is Stakeholder Alignment?
The process of getting all key decision-makers to agree on priorities, scope, and success criteria.
Stakeholder alignment is the process of ensuring that all key decision-makers, sponsors, and influencers share a common understanding of transformation priorities, scope, success criteria, and trade-offs. Misalignment is the root cause of most transformation failures: the CEO wants AI, the CTO wants infrastructure modernization, the CFO wants cost reduction, and each believes their priority should come first. Effective alignment requires transparent prioritization data (not opinion-based decisions), visual tools like value/feasibility matrices, regular governance cadences, and explicit documentation of what was decided and why. Fygurs supports alignment by making scoring and prioritization transparent to all stakeholders.
