Conclusion & Recommendations Key Players

Similar response Favourable for Governance

Keep satisfied and Minimal effort- Huge variations Shift in power and interest Could be checked in different stages

Conclusion & Recommendations Minimal effort -

Mostly external stakeholders Involvement in the planning

Gap in Governance Stakeholder Analysis Implementing governance principles

Conclusion Governance Principles need to be agreed

upon by stakeholders used to assess/audit internal processes

in public or public organizations More complex to assess processes

involving combination May not necessarily improve stakeholder

interactions, project efficiency & effectiveness
