social-power-mapping

What problem does it solve?

Social-power-mapping helps you diagnose why plans stall by revealing the gap between formal authority and real influence, including gatekeeping and deference to expertise.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Power inventory by dimension: Breaks each actor into formal authority, informal influence, gatekeeping, and expertise.
• Influence flow mapping: Clarifies who shapes whose decisions and where real deference happens.
• Actionable engagement outputs: Surfaces power gaps (who must be onboarded) and invisible/excluded stakeholders who may be impacted but lack leverage.

Use case: You’re proposing a change in an organization and want to identify who can block it, who will actually persuade decision-makers, and which stakeholders need explicit advocacy.

Quick Start

Use the social-power-mapping skill to map stakeholders and influence flows for the situation you describe, then produce an actor inventory, influence map, power gaps, and invisible stakeholders.
