system by identifying the key actors/stakeholders in the
system and assessing their respective interest &
involvement in that system

degree of interaction between actors)

Stakeholder diagram

stakeholder diagram, which help identify the

On a stakeholder diagram, the stakeholders
are arranged in 3 tiers (co-operating, cothinking & co-knowing) and 4 quadrants
(expert, decision maker, implementer & user)
