Why analyze the stakeholder landscape?
We all talk about the importance of “stakeholders” in product success and the need to build a network. This is easier said than done. Indeed an effective stakeholder network is one that goes well beyond the obvious. Additionally, understanding the role that each stakeholder group plays in a particular marketand the individualswithin it is critical to ensuring a companyor product’sacceptance into that market.
What Stakeholder Analysis will accomplish:
- Identify and determine the potential impact of key trends within the industry.
- Build a robust network of groups and individuals representing clinicians, patients, government, other commercial entities, and local resources (e.g., support groups).
- Uncovercritical stakeholders that you never considered.
- Understand if and how key stakeholders engage with industry.
- Design a plan to effectively engage the various groups within the stakeholder network.
- Leverage the linkages between the various entities for optimal engagement.
