StakeholderID Assessment Tool

Before implementing a large-scale change, wouldn’t it be ideal to know where your stakeholders stand? If you knew stakeholders were aware and supportive of a change, you would reach out to them differently than you would to unaware or unsupportive stakeholders. Knowing the attitudes of your various stakeholder groups can help you develop strategies that create the buy-in pivotal to organizational improvement and agency success.

Booz Allen has developed a proprietary solution to this stakeholder attitude quandary. Leveraging our long history of helping clients across the public sector with their diverse requirements, our technical professionals will help your organization implement and maximize our stakeholder assessment tool—StakeholderID^SM.

The StakeholderID^SM approach

StakeholderID^SM is an assessment tool for understanding stakeholders’ attitudes regarding changes in an organization’s strategy, structure, operations, or technologies. The tool allows for a quick assessment of stakeholder support and awareness, creating an important springboard to begin targeted messaging and strategic communications outreach. It provides leaders with a first look, or snapshot, that identifies stakeholder advocates and opponents, allowing organizations to:

• Prioritize key stakeholders
  • Identify attitudes of specific stakeholder groups before implementation begins
  • Access a large universe of respondents using recognized sampling techniques with fewer resource costs
  • Analyze data quantitatively
• Create targeted, specific communications and change management plans and monitor changes in the stakeholder environment after implementing these plans.

Meaningful results

StakeholderID^SM has two web-based components—a data collection tool and QuickMap—
complemented by a final assessment report.

Measurements experts design the Web-Based Data Collection Tool to capture attitudes in a brief 5–10 minute questionnaire.

The QuickMap, an interactive graphical assessment charting tool, displays the stakeholder groups in relation to each other, based on awareness levels and support levels.

The Final Assessment Report features a comprehensive analysis of the questionnaire results, packaged in a “coffeetable-worthy” booklet or as an electronic PDF. The report provides detailed breakdowns of support and awareness by stakeholder group, as well as short- and long-term recommendations based on the StakeholderID^SM metrics and Booz Allen Stakeholder Relationship Management and Change Management methodologies.
