Identify diffirent stakeholders who may have influence on the task an objectives. Discuss why and how diverse?

Answer 1

If you're pertaining to project management, stakeholders who finance a project normally have influence on the tasks and objectives of a project since as project manager, they approve, you implement. You cannot implement anything or "green light" any task without the go signal from stakeholders. But there are times when the stakeholders are wrong and as PM, you are supposed to point out the error of their ways and either recommend the right procedure or get a consultant to advise them.

Answer 2

A stakeholder is anyone who may influence the desired result either now or in the future.

The degree to which they are stakeholders reflects the degree they are capable of influencing results, although some would argue that it is also the degree to which they are affected by the process.

Major stakeholder categories will typically number 5-10, and may be extremely diverse - national government, local government, business, the general public / consumers, professionals, consultants etc.. The identity of stakeholders will depend on the situation, but they are usually internal to a group or organisation, and external.

As an example, here is an analysis of brand/marketing stakeholders:

If you need to do some stakeholder analysis, there are tools on Mud Valley to help you identify, analyse and interview them.

Here is another example of the application of stakeholder theory, this time in business strategy:

Answer 3

Your question is confusing!

Stakeholders who have influence on tasks are anyone who has a task assigned to them or are on the team that has the task assigned to them.

Objectives are established to meet a goal. These objectives can be developed by many but usually by the mid to senior management level within an organization. Objectives are incremental measurables or steps required to achieve and hit the goal.

The goal is usually established by the Board, the customer and or the Sr. management within a company.

So the stakeholders are multiple.

1) Establish the goal- Customer, Members of the Board, CEO, owner, and Sr Management.
2) Layout the Objectives- CEO, Owner,Sr Management.
3) Identify the tasks- Sr Management,Middle Managers, develop the measureable.
4) Anyone and everyone can identify action plans to achieve the tasks.

So stake holders are everyone!
