LET’S LOOK AT SOME REAL STAKEHOLDERS
Throughout the text you will meet Event Canvas users and learn about their perspectives. As you read about these people, imagine where they’d fall in the Leadership-Experience graph. Here’s Anthony Back. He’s one of the early adopters of the Event Canvas and has used it design an event for one of his projects.
Even though these people have different experiences, and their stakes are all different, the one thing they have in common is that they use the Event Canvas. The Event Canvas can help you, too, get to where you want to be with an event, with a team, and with your own career path across the Leadership-Experience graph. So, next meet Marti Winer and then let’s examine the Event Canvas in detail in Chapter 3.
Scattered through the rest of the book you will connect to other users like Anthony. We’ll meet an event manager for a management consulting firm, a Chief of Staff of a university, a Secretary General for a risk management federation, the head of events for the International Olympic Committee and many others. 31
