When to use it
Use it when you have many stakeholders and need a more nuanced way to decide whose claims come first.
How to apply it
- List your stakeholders.
- Assess whether each has power to influence the outcome.
- Assess whether their claim is legitimate.
- Assess whether their claim is urgent and time-sensitive.
- Give top priority to those with all three attributes, and monitor those with fewer.
Tip: Salience changes over time; a dormant stakeholder can become urgent quickly.
