Stakeholder Analysis Template

Stakeholder analysis provides a method for identifying those impacted or potentially impacted by a change effort (or improvement project) and their relative interest and influence on the change process.

The analysis assesses each stakeholder by their:

• relative interest in the project,
• relative power to impact the project, and
• positive or negative view towards the project.

The template provides a mechanism for recording the assessment and documenting a management strategy for each stakeholder.

Benefits of understanding and managing stakeholders include;

• Getting key stakeholder inputs early in the project, gaining their support and improving the quality of the project and its outcomes.
• Support from key stakeholders can lead to better resource support.
• Frequent communication with the stakeholders provides a means for better organization understanding and growing acceptance and support.
