Office Relocation Stakeholder Register
This is a practical guide to building a stakeholder register for an office relocation project — a record of stakeholders, their influence and how to engage them, adapted to the realities of moving an office to new premises.
What a Stakeholder Register is
A stakeholder register is a record of stakeholders, their influence and how to engage them. For the full concept and how it works in general, see Stakeholder Register. On an office relocation project it plays the same role, tuned to this kind of work.
Why it matters for an Office Relocation project
Office Relocation projects live or die on moving an office to new premises. A well-built stakeholder register gives the team a shared, explicit reference for exactly that — reducing ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and making problems visible early enough to act. Skipping it, or doing it generically, is how office relocation projects drift into avoidable delay and cost.
What to include
- Stakeholder name and role
- Power and interest
- Attitude
- Engagement approach
Office Relocation-specific considerations
Tailor the stakeholder register to the risks that most often derail office relocation projects:
- Minimising downtime
- IT and telephony cutover
- Staff communication
Example
On a real office relocation project, the stakeholder register would be shaped by moving an office to new premises. In particular, it should explicitly account for the project’s biggest risks — minimising downtime, IT and telephony cutover, staff communication — rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
