ABSTRACT
Also the process of generating inputs for the stakeholder analysis can be quite challenging. Information can only be gathered if it exists. The stakeholders can only share their requirements, wishes and concerns if they are aware of them and willing and able to articulate them when asked. This means that sometimes important information about stakeholders cannot be revealed through the techniques recommended for the stakeholder analysis. Workshops, interviews and other forms of information sharing may help stakeholders become aware of their thoughts regarding the project. You may find inspiration for how to conduct such information sharing in the techniques presented for creation of input for the stakeholder assessment. Also, think about that questions asked in an interview or a conversation about a topic may trigger the interviewee to reflect on the topic in question, and he or she will be able to answer the question in a later follow-up interview (Jepsen and Eskerod 2009).
