Tool
Description
The Stakeholder Circle™ is based on the premise that a project can only exist with the informed consent of its stakeholder community. This community comprises individuals and groups, each with a different potential to influence the project’s outcome. The Stakeholder Circle™ has been devised to offer a mechanism for assessing the relative influence of each of the key stakeholders and planning ways to engage with and manage their expectations/contributions. The benefit of using this tool is derived in part from the analysis process itself as well as from the ease with which the influence of key stakeholder’s on the project can be judged once the ‘Stakeholder Circle’ diagram is complete. The tool facilitates the regular updating of this assessment as the stakeholder community changes to reflect the dynamic nature of the project and its relationships. Changes and trends are tracked over time to help the team identify which engagement strategies are working and which need reviewing. To develop the 'circle', Stakeholders are weighted according to the three characteristics. |
Proximity
This aspect considers how closely a stakeholder is associated with the
day-to-day running of the project. The small circle in the centre of the
diagram represents the project. The space between the two circles
represents the sphere of influence of the project on its whole
stakeholder
community. The proximity of a stakeholder to the project is represented
by how close their segment is to the project in the centre.
Urgency / Importance
The width of the arc represents the amount of urgency or importance
attributed to a stakeholder from the teams perspective (ie, how likely
the
stakeholder is to use its power), the wider the segment, the greater
the urgency.
