Stakeholder Map
Before we draw a stakeholder map on the whiteboard, we create a list of potential user groups and institutions to which they are connected i.e. a list of our stakeholders.
After we have selected the relevant stakeholders, we analyze their connections.
Possible questions could be:
- What common goal do they share?
- What conflicts or interests do exist?
- What personal and emotional connections exist between them?
- Are there any open conflicts or hidden animosities?
We visualize a proper map with all connections.
Recommendation: Marking the connection arrows by different colors according to the type of connection. Similarly, sticky notes in different colors can refer to different dimensions of information. In any visualization: a clear arrangement is essential.
