ABSTRACT
Stakeholder analysis is a tool that can help museum educators identify and assess the potential influence of key people, groups of people, constituencies, and institutions on the success of their plans and programs. Educators, skilled at working with people, can use their well-honed interpersonal skills to understand networks of relationships to anticipate the kind of influence, positive or negative, individuals or groups may render to support or hinder initiatives in the face of potential opportunities or reduced budgets.
