Stakeholder Analysis

This is an example of how I have chosen to lay out the stakeholder analysis. This introductory paragraph should introduce what you are hoping to examine within the document.

In this case, the first section looks at the title, or group of stakeholders. Rather than listing each stakeholder individually, they are grouped based on common interest in the project.

In this example, a list of stakeholders can be quite extensive. I’m only asking for five or six, in your papers. As you can see, descriptions of their roles can be quite simple in the table, but should be elaborated on whenever the label isn’t self-explanatory. Remember to look at it from the point of view of a reader without your pre-acquired understanding of the topic.

As you progress through pre-disposition, you are looking at their predicted off-the-cuff response to your proposal. In other words, you are guessing at what they might think about your proposal.

When looking as support, think about whether they will care about the proposal, or whether or not they are greatly affected by it.

Influence is about the power they wield in this particular area we are discussing.

I have continued to copy the title and role columns in order to make it easier to see who I’m referring to when paired up with the other columns. I broke the table into pieces to make it easier to read. When left as a single document, the table was too small to see.

In the above table, the reactions to the proposal are speculated on. The answers are again, brief, within the table, but should be elaborated on in these accompanying paragraphs.

In the columns preceding this paragraph you should describe why each stakeholder will care about this topic. It lends credibility to your speculation on their level of interest. Again, use this paragraph to elaborate as needed.

In the preceding column, it should be used to talk about when you need to address that particular stakeholder. Not all of them need to be involved from the beginning, and it can be complicating to include people that don’t need to be involved in a project. It can be a distraction.

The above columns are devoted to the roles each stakeholder might play in developing your proposal, or perhaps helping to sell the proposal. In some cases, there won’t be a role for the stakeholder. I noted it in the table I completed by simple adding “N/A” (Not Applicable).

I also had to do some work adjusting the margins, to get the text back to APA format and still have the tables right. Remember to look at the overall readability of the material.

The next bit of information and chart are devoted to illustrating the interest and influence of each stakeholder. As you’ll notice, I was able to reduce the size of that chart and still have it be readable. Remember to look at the presentation quality. I’m sure that many of you, that possess greater Excel skills than I do will be able to figure out even better layouts for the material.

Again, use this area to elaborate on why you placed stakeholders in the different boxes. It will help the reader understand your thinking and perhaps help with buy-in.
