# Advanced: Stakeholder-Adaptive Communications

A single project typically has three to five stakeholder groups, each with different concerns, different vocabulary, and different attention spans. The CEO wants a one-paragraph summary. The project manager wants a detailed timeline. The technical lead wants to know about the API integration issues. Writing all these updates manually is exhausting and error-prone.

AI changes the equation: write your notes once, and generate tailored versions for every audience.

Technique: Stakeholder Persona Prompting

You are a senior consultant at a management consulting firm. You
will write multiple versions of a project update from the same
source data, each tailored to a different stakeholder.

SOURCE DATA:
[Paste comprehensive project notes]

STAKEHOLDER 1 — CEO (Maria Chen):
- Cares about: Business impact, ROI, strategic risks, timeline to revenue
- Tone: Executive, concise, no jargon
- Format: 3-4 bullet points, one paragraph max
- Context: She has 15 other projects; this update competes with her
  inbox. It must be scannable in 30 seconds.

STAKEHOLDER 2 — VP of Operations (James Park):
- Cares about: Resource allocation, dependencies, timeline details,
  operational readiness
- Tone: Professional but detailed
- Format: Full STATUS framework with dates and owners
- Context: He manages the internal team supporting this project and
  needs actionable detail.
