0 points possible due – M6D1: What’s the Value of Stakeholder Analysis? No unread replies. No replies. This discussion will simulate a face to face discussion in a classroom. We will go through the questions as a group beginning with the first question. As we answer each of the questions, we will move to the next one together. Read what others have said and add to the discussion in a substantive manner.

The first question in this discussion is opinion and experience-based, so you can begin immediately. For subsequent questions please meaningfully integrate what you learned from the videos and articles as well as additional supportive articles or videos that you choose to include.

Now, read the assigned book chapter on stakeholder analysis  (Links to an external site.)  and then engage in a conversation on the following discussion questions, one at a time: The article discusses the role of data collection in the process of conducting a stakeholder analysis. As you read about data collection, what techniques do you feel are most valuable in gathering this information? Why? What techniques might be less useful or yield information that might be biased? Why?
