Stakeholder mapping (or stakeholder analysis) is a visual process that lays out all of the stakeholders involved in the research project. The map identifies each potential stakeholder, defines their roles and value with respect to the project, and analyses how much interest in and influence over the project outcomes they have. This webpage has a list of resources, tools, and blogs about stakeholder mapping.
