Scope of influence
Engagement Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work, published by the RIBA in January 2024, states: ‘Establishing the scope and extent of influence that stakeholders and participants have during engagement early in the work stages is crucial for effective stakeholder and participant involvement. This process involves defining issues, limitations and identifying negotiable and non-negotiable elements, such as design features, environmental considerations, social impacts, or resource allocation. Stakeholders and participants could influence these aspects, and their feedback can lead to adjustments in project plans, mitigating risks and enhancing effectiveness. Clear boundaries ensure an efficient engagement process, managing expectations and reducing misunderstandings, increasing stakeholders' acceptance and support for the project.’
