As the HR consultant contracted to resolve issues related to miscommunica�on and workforce discontent at the U.S. branch of the

Singaporean so�ware solu�ons provider, you are expected to present a change readiness report and then submit a change

management plan.

You have read that stakeholder analysis is an important requirement for change management. You know that you will soon need

cri�cal informa�on from the VP of the U.S. unit to complete this ac�vity. To convince the VP and the leadership team at both

loca�ons to share this cri�cal informa�on with you, you decide to send out a memo on the significance of stakeholder analysis in

change management.

How can stakeholders encourage or inhibit change in an organiza�on?

2. Iden�fy and explain at least three benefits of conduc�ng a stakeholder analysis.

3. Iden�fy the key people in the organiza�on:

Reference the Leaders’ Self-Evalua�ons to document your analysis.

Who are the cri�cal stakeholders in the organiza�on? Refer to the U.S. Branch Overview to iden�fy the cri�cal

stakeholders.

Who could be interested in enabling change in the organiza�on?

Why do you think these stakeholders will be interested in enabling change?

4. Include any ques�ons or addi�onal informa�on you will need from the company leadership to complete your stakeholder

analysis.

Reference the Leaders’ Self-Evalua�ons and Employee Engagement Surveys to document your analysis.
