Networking with intent
Map the people who shape your goals — inside and outside your organisation — and see who to activate, who to build trust with, and who can wait. The map adapts to what you are working towards: your brand, your career, a change you lead or the business you build.
Example map. Each dot is a person, placed by how much they can affect your goal and how well they know you.
What are you working towards?
Choose one or more contexts. The questions, the advice for each quadrant and the reflections change with each one — the same CFO can be decisive for your career and irrelevant for your sales.
Be known for what you stand for.
Grow into the role you want next.
Understand how decisions really get made.
Win support for an idea, initiative or change.
Build the relationships that bring business.
Land well in a new role, team or organisation.
How it works
Pick your contexts, write your goal for each, and the three words you want to be known for.
Internal and external. Answer a few short questions about relationship and impact.
Each person lands in Allies, Potential, Friend Zone or Unknown — with a priority and a recommended move.
Plan one concrete action per priority person. Re-assess every 90 days.
Start with five people. The map will show you the gaps.
