Stakeholders MappingStakeholders MappingStakeholder mapping is a collaborative process of research, debate, and discussion that draws from multiple perspectives to determine a key list of stakeholders across the entire stakeholder spectrum. Mapping can be broken down into four phases:
1. Identifying: listing relevant groups, organizations, and people 2. Analyzing: understanding stakeholder perspectives and interests
3. Mapping: visualizing relationships to objectives and other stakeholders
4. Prioritizing: ranking stakeholder relevance and identifying issues The process of stakeholder mapping is as important as the result, and the quality of the process depends heavily on the knowledge of the people participating.
