Construction projects often involve clients, contractors, consultants, regulators, local communities, suppliers, and other interested parties. A closer look at stakeholder leadership highlights the need to understand how each group may affect or be affected by project decisions. Stakeholder mapping can help identify levels of influence and interest. Engagement can then be prioritised according to project needs. This provides a more deliberate basis for allocating communication and management effort.
