Stakeholder Analysis Frameworks Reference

Power-Interest Grid Quadrants

RACI Definitions

• R (Responsible): Does the work
• A (Accountable): Ultimately answerable (only one per activity)
• C (Consulted): Provides input (two-way communication)
• I (Informed): Kept updated (one-way communication)

RACI Validation Rules

1. Every activity must have exactly one A
2. Every activity should have at least one R
3. Minimize C's to prevent bottlenecks
4. Not everyone needs to be involved in everything

Mitchell-Agle-Wood Stakeholder Types

1. Dormant: Power only
2. Discretionary: Legitimacy only
3. Demanding: Urgency only
4. Dominant: Power + Legitimacy
5. Dangerous: Power + Urgency
6. Dependent: Legitimacy + Urgency
7. Definitive: Power + Legitimacy + Urgency
