Simplified Stakeholder Analysis
A Demonstration
2
Goals

• Demonstration, preliminary use
• Simple, user-friendly and portable model
• Transparent calculations and assumptions
• Scenario building over prediction
• Accessible charts and grids as guides for
  potential options/targets for policy dialogue

3
Data Collection

• As with other models, extensive and reliant on
  field interviews
• Depending on government or policy area openness,
  data can be collected by two methods
• Interviews with specialists or experts and/or
• Interviews with actual stakeholders

Sample Data

Policy Continuum A

New Policy Continuum B
() Effective Power
8
Effective Power/Position MatrixIdentifies
stakeholder position and their relative power --
how hard reform will be With simple rule --
movement within quadrant/subset -- allows setting
goals to influence
9
Scenarios Governing Assumptions

• Stakeholders can only move within their policy
  preference sector, or minimally into next one
• Strategy may then be to
• Move stakeholders with low policy reform
  preferences to the right or diagonally upwards by
  increasing information
• Empower stakeholders with higher policy reform
  preferences to move up and to the right by
  increasing effective power

10
Influence-Salience MatrixIdentifies the
stakeholders by their level of salience and
influence (color-coded on policy reform
preference)Information on stakeholder attributes
allows setting intervention strategy and
coalition building
11
Specific Examples in response to
influence-salience profile of opponents

• Promoters - counter or compromise
• Defenders - suppress potential action
• Latents Increase salience
• Apathetics - Ignore

12
Specific Examples in response to
influence-salience profile of proponents

• Promoters - Build coalitions with low preference
  stakeholders-common interests
• Defenders - Provide resources to promote position
• Latents - Provide information and incentives to
  increase saliency and preference for reform
• Apathetics Ignore

New Policy Continuum B
() Effective Power
14
Improvements/Simplifications

• Adds detailed stakeholder reservation price to
  policy continuum
• Clarifies effective power equation
• Focuses on creating scenarios in lieu of
  predictions to promote policy
• Uses maps to identify and assess stakeholder
  positions and potential movement for dialogue and
  goal-setting

15
Conclusion

• Simpler model
• Portable, cost effective
• Excel-based
• WB team executed (data/scenarios/dialogue)
• Transparent assumptions
• Informed by Task team country/issue knowledge
• Theoretically valid, methodologically reliable
• Organic scenarios over precise/debatable
  predictions

Annex 1 Effective Power Equation

• (.70)I (.30)S Effective Power
• Effective Power is the weighted sum of 70
  Influence and 30 Salience
• Influence is weighted more than Salience because
  those with higher influence have a higher ability
  to block reform
• Eg. A stakeholder with 80 (I) and 20 (S) has more
  power to veto a policy than a stakeholder with 20
  (I) and 80 (S)
