Stakeholder analysis: who do you need to listen to?

What do customers, employees and owners expect from you? AmpliFlow is software for managing procedures, responsibilities and follow-up. Its stakeholder register is a tool for collecting their needs and expectations and clarifying who manages the contact.

Understand what your relationships require

A stakeholder analysis describes who affects your business or is affected by it. Record their needs and requirements, assess what is relevant and describe how you want to involve them. This gives you a basis for deciding which contacts to prioritise.

Make it clear who follows up each stakeholder

The colleague in contact with a customer or employees often learns when expectations change. Assign a responsible person and team in the register and describe the contact activities.

Why do ISO standards address interested parties?

Stakeholder analysis helps you understand which expectations need to inform your decisions. Clause 4.2 in ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001 and ISO 45001 addresses this from different perspectives. A list of names is not enough: assess what the relationships mean for the area you manage.

ISO 9001: Ask which requirements affect your ability to deliver the right product or service. Changed customer delivery terms may affect planning. Keep information about relevant interested parties and requirements current as relationships change.
ISO 14001: Distinguish environmental preferences from obligations you must meet or have committed to. An environmental condition in a contract may need to be addressed as a compliance obligation and followed up in operations.
ISO 27001: Assess which information security requirements to address through your management system. A customer agreement on project-file access may affect both your procedures and your agreement with the IT supplier.
ISO 45001: Workers' needs belong in the assessment. Include other interested parties, such as contractors, and establish which expectations are or could become legal and other requirements.

What do you do when a customer wants faster delivery?

A customer wants a shorter lead time. You need to decide what you can promise and what must change to meet it.

In Customer requirements, record the agreed lead time and your assessment of how the requirement is met.
In Risk management, assess what could prevent delivery, such as delayed components.

Common questions about stakeholder management

Where do we start with stakeholder analysis?

Start with who can affect your business or be affected by it. Then decide which needs and expectations are relevant to your management system. You make the judgement and record it in the register.

Can we import our existing list?

Yes. Import stakeholders and continue working with that information in the register. Review ownership and activities at the same time so outdated information does not carry over unnoticed.

How should we use stakeholder levels?

Choose a level that reflects how you assess the interest. Agree internally on what the levels mean and use them when prioritising follow-up.

When should we update the analysis?

Review it when relationships, requirements or priorities change. Also decide when to follow up existing stakeholders and who will do it.

Do you need human expert help?

Use the software to build your management system yourselves, or get help with setup and implementation. We agree the scope of that help before you decide.
