Stakeholder assessment

A lot of people are saying, “what does this mean for me?”

 

To address their concerns, you need to answer some questions:

·          Who are the key stakeholders?

·          What are their issues and concerns?

·          How should they be involved and consulted?

·          How will their needs be met?

Start with the familiar and important trio of customers, stockholders and employees. But many  other individuals and groups will also have a stake in the outcome, and can influence the process and result.

 

Change processes are planned based on data about stakeholder issues and needs. They incorporate strategies for involving appropriate individuals and groups in planning and deployment.

Stakeholders include many individuals and groups
beyond the core of employees, customers and owners.
