A business analyst is reviewing the stakeholder management strategy for a high profile Human Resources (HR) project Following an organisational…

To determine the appropriate stakeholder management strategies for Harvey, we need to analyze

his role and level of interest at two points in time:

When the project started: Harvey was the Director of Operations and had little interest in the HR

project because his focus was on operational projects.

Now that his role has changed: As the Director of HR, Harvey has inherited sponsorship of the HR

project, making him a key stakeholder with high interest and influence.

Stakeholder Management Strategies:

Watch: This strategy is used for stakeholders with low interest and low influence. It involves

monitoring their behavior without actively engaging them.

Constant active management: This strategy is used for stakeholders with high interest and high

influence. It involves frequent communication and collaboration to ensure their needs and

expectations are met.

Evaluation of Each Option:

A . Keep informed; Constant active management:

"Keep informed" is appropriate for stakeholders with moderate interest but does not align with

Harvey's initial lack of interest.

Conclusion: This is not correct .

B . Ignore, Constant active management:

Ignoring a stakeholder is inappropriate, especially for someone in a senior leadership role like

Harvey.

Conclusion: This is not correct .

C . Watch, Constant active management:

Initially, Harvey had low interest and low influence on the HR project, making "watch" an appropriate

strategy.

After becoming the Director of HR and inheriting sponsorship, Harvey now requires "constant active

management" due to his high interest and influence.

Conclusion: This is the correct answer .

D . Constant active management, keep informed:

This reverses the order of strategies and does not align with Harvey's initial lack of interest.

Conclusion: This is not correct .
