Lesson 7: Identify Stakeholders
69
Very early in the life of a project, it is critical to identify all of the organizations and people who may have an impact on the project, and all those who may be impacted by the project.
A “stakeholder” is any person or organization that is actively involved in a project, or whose interests may be affected positively or negatively by execution of a project. Stakeholders can be internal to the organization or external. In many projects the public at large will become a stakeholder to be considered during the project. The challenge for the project manager when the public is a stakeholder will be to act while considering public needs. Often there is no direct representative of the public to be consulted during project planning and execution. A project manager must be sure to identify and list all potential stakeholders for a project. Potential stakeholders include but are not limited to:
Competitors
National communities
Employees
Professional associations
Government
Prospective customers
Government regulatory agencies
Prospective employees
Industry trade groups
Public at large (Global community)
Investors
Shareholders
Labor unions
