Stakeholder Analysis
Stakeholder Analysis is a relationship mapping exercise for convergent alignment: it helps participants compare options and move toward a shared decision.
How to run it
- There are a number of variations in mapping out stakeholders, and a team may changeor add variables to the equation, depending on the circumstances.
- The most common way to map is by power and interest.
- Power : describes a stakeholder’s level of influence in the system-how much he can direct or coerce a project and other stakeholders.
- Interest : describes the degree to which a stakeholder will be affected by the project.
- By setting up a matrix with these two axes, you are ready to begin.
- Step 1: Create a List of Stakeholder Groups
- Who will be responsible or accountable for the project?
- This activity supports you to identify your project’s stakeholders.
