stakeholder risk assessments

Stakeholder risk assessment is the process of identifying and analyzing the potential risks that stakeholders—such as clients, employees, partners, or the community—might pose to a project or organization. It involves understanding their interests, concerns, and influence, then evaluating how their actions or reactions could impact the success or progress of a goal. By doing this, organizations can develop strategies to manage or mitigate these risks, ensuring better communication, reduced conflicts, and increased likelihood of project success. Essentially, it helps anticipate and address potential issues stemming from stakeholder relationships.
