Abstract

The main focus of the who question of systemic thinking is on the stakeholders associated with our mess. This chapter discusses our approach for the analysis and management of stakeholders. This introduction provides a brief background of stakeholder analysis and an introduction to our approach to stakeholder analysis and management, which is then followed by a detailed discussion of each of these steps. Finally, a framework for stakeholder analysis and management is presented and demonstrated.
