What is a stakeholder analysis?
A stakeholder analysis identifies everyone who has an interest in a project and assesses their influence and needs. By mapping who holds power and interest, it helps teams plan how to communicate with and engage each group, managing relationships before they become roadblocks to progress.
How do you create a stakeholder analysis?
Start by listing all individuals and groups affected by the project. Assess each one's level of influence and interest, often plotting them on a power-interest grid. Then define an engagement approach for each, deciding how closely to involve them and how often to communicate updates.
What is a power-interest grid in stakeholder analysis?
A power-interest grid is a tool that plots stakeholders by how much influence they hold and how interested they are. The four quadrants suggest strategies: manage high-power, high-interest people closely, keep powerful but less-interested ones satisfied, keep interested but low-power ones informed, and monitor the rest.
