Who and What Are Stakeholders?

A Stakeholder is anyone who has an interest or stake in the project, programme or change initiative.

Stakeholders can be both internal and external to the organisation and should include representatives from the customer base, maybe even from a competitor perspective.

The Role That Stakeholders Play

When designing a programme of change it is essential to identify stakeholder expectations. One of the key competencies of managers is the ability to create and maintain relationships and increasingly external relationships are assuming more importance in many cases than internal relationships. It is clear to see that stakeholder engagement and stakeholder management of key within this.

The rate of change is increasingly being felt both within the organisation and external to it. Competitive pressures abound and sometimes organisations that would otherwise be seen as competitors, may well have to be engaged as partners within a consortium environment.

Understanding the needs, aspirations and influence of stakeholders is a key area. We need to understand who they are and, in asking “what do they expect of us?” and record details on these areas.

Without this knowledge any change can be doomed to failure as stakeholders easily make or break the change programme.

Stakeholders are crucial to the success of the project, program will change initiative. If we do not understand them, seem to ignore them or neglect them, they will actively present barriers and may even derail the change.

If we show that we understand their needs and expectations, communicate with them on a regular and appropriate basis, involve them wherever possible, they will proactively support the change and may well become change champions for the project or programme.

Here we can see there is a clear roadmap for us to be able to engage our stakeholders successfully and it is in four parts:

• Identify stakeholders

• Analyse stakeholders

• Engage stakeholders

• Manage stakeholders
