ABSTRACT

The results from the stakeholder analysis lay the ground for planning wellthought activities in connection with each (group of) project stakeholder(s). But it also works the other way around; interacting with the project stakeholders, for example in workshops, will give insights into stakeholder requirements, wishes and concerns. Therefore, analysis does not precede activities; instead stakeholder analysis and stakeholder activities are intertwined. This means that you should not limit project stakeholder analysis simply to the project formation phase. Rather, stakeholder analyses should be carried out several times along the project course in order to incorporate potential changes. These might be in the environments; in the stakeholders’ requirements, wishes, concerns, level of information, and evaluations; or in the interpretations done by the people doing the project stakeholder analysis.
