Interest management
that works for you
Understanding interests.
Getting a handle on what matters.
Interest management revolves around listening, adapting and coordinating. This is only possible if you know who your stakeholders are and what they consider important. Stakeholder management helps you understand the dynamics in your environment. Not as a separate appendix, but as a compass for the conversation that matters.
With Dialog, you record interests per stakeholder. You link them to phases, themes and issues, and see which interests are most affected. Interests are automatically prioritised based on the impact of your task.

This allows you to work with up-to-date insights and create the right expectations, from initial exploration to post-implementation.
What is interest management?
Interest management is the process of developing a structured understanding of what drives stakeholders and what those interests mean for your task. It connects the content with the environment. Strategy with practice.
Interests change along with your project. That is why it is not a one-off analysis, but an ongoing process. With Dialog, you map out those interests and keep them up to date. So that you can switch gears, substantiate and communicate more effectively.
Why interest management?
Without a clear view of interests, you are steering in the dark:
Signals from the environment remain underexposed.
Strategy does not align with current issues.
Participation strikes the wrong chord.
Teams work at cross purposes, information is lost.
Sensitive choices lead to misunderstanding or resistance.
Good interest management prevents you from falling behind.
You know what is going on, where tensions lie, and where there is room for manoeuvre. In the exploratory phase, you help to develop better plans. During participation, you know who to involve and how. And during implementation, you maintain an overview and stay on course.
