Engagement is best ensured through a stakeholder strategy, which specifies how each stakeholder
will be involved, supported, and motivated. Readiness (A) and impact analysis (B) provide insights
into where engagement is needed, and training strategies (D) address skill gaps. However, the plan
that directly ensures engagement of individuals is the stakeholder strategy. It aligns activities to
roles, influence, and readiness levels, making engagement intentional and personalized.

meaningful engagement of stakeholders in the change effort.)
