Identifying stakeholders that can affect the impact of your project
When you have identified the expected impact of the project, you should consider WHO could affect the impact – either facilitate or obstruct it. A list of (non-exhaustive) questions could be:
- Who do you need to listen to?
- Who do you need to engage with in your activities, throughout the project?
- Who do will ultimately benefit from your project/results?
- Who should use your results?
- How can the different stakeholders benefit from the project? What are their interests in it?
- What type/degree of change you need to see from your different stakeholders in order for them to contribute to the projects impact?
