This model evaluates stakeholders after two criteria. Power to influence your project and interest in wanting to influence or to support the project.

1. Overview

Get an overview over all stakeholders, possible with a Mindmap. Or you start with these helpful questions:

  • Who shows interest in the project idea?
  • Who could show interest?
  • For whom is the project useful
  • Who can contribute or support the project materially or non-materially?
  • Who is against this project idea?
  • Who has influence on the implementation process?

2. Analysis

Then examine, how they can be weightened by the two criteria „power“ and „interest“.
