Introduction• Relatively new concept :
– “70% of people not consulted” (Hutton 1995)
• Successful projects more than ‘time, cost & quality’
– Quantitative and Qualitative success criteria
Definition(s)• “those groups who without whose support the
organisation would cease to exist” (Freeman 1984)
• “the people who have a real interest in the outcomes of the project” (Lockwood 1996)
• “individuals or groups who can effect, or are affected by the (project) you are (managing)” (Ryan 1996)
• “a person or group of people who have a vested interest in the success of an organisation [project] and the environment within which the organisation [project] exists” (BS6079 1996)

Stakeholder Management• Satisfaction = perception – expectation
• Hard Metrics:
– Time, Cost & Quality
• Perceived Quality:
– Responsiveness– Communication– Competence / Professionalism– Courtesy– Accessibility
Different perspectives on success
Client Have the goals been achieved to a satisfactory degree
Project leader
Has the result been achieved with respect to the aspects of Time, Money, Quality, Information & Organisation
Project employee Is their contribution appreciated?
Financier Is it profitable?
End User Is it usable?
Person with problem Are we any closer to finding a solution
