Stakeholders
Stakeholder discovery and categorisation is an important part of the BVI Model. This step establishs as complete a categorised list of stakeholders as feasible. In later stages, the information gathered here will be further segmented and analysed to identify different groupings for investigation specifically in response to the needs of the impact assessment.a person, group, community or organisation who affects or can be affected by the ecosystem of the digital resource assessed.
Actions to take in establishing and identifying stakeholders include the following.
- List all primary stakeholders.
- List all secondary stakeholders.
- Identify and list all potential supporters and opponents.
- Identify the interests of vulnerable or minority groups.
- List all new primary or secondary stakeholders likely to emerge as the impact assessment progresses.
