Assignment: Stakeholder Engagement

In this Assignment, you are going to evaluate a specific business process based on criteria detailed below. If you already have selected a business process, continue using that and skip to the next paragraph. If you have not yet selected the business process you will use for these Assignments, then begin by selecting one. E-mail your instructor and clearly describe the objective of this process, the participants, and the strategic significance for the company. The business process you select must have a clear beginning and an end, with identifiable, specific steps. Your instructor will confirm that the process you selected is suitable, or ask you to select another one.

In this Assignment, through the stakeholder engagement analysis, you will engage in developing the following professional competencies:

? Negotiation
? Collaborate and build relationships

The Launch Pad phase is where a lot of foundational work on a project is done and the lines are drawn. For this Assignment, write a paper that answers the following 4 questions:

1) Who are the stakeholders in your selected business process, besides those that are directly involved in the execution of it? List at least two people/groups and explain their relationship/connection to the process. Also describe what they expect from this project.

2) What is this process intended to accomplish? What constitutes success? Focus on the selected process, not the organization in general. Be specific about both of these elements (definition of goals and success).

3) Based on the definitions provided by the Keen Process Worth Matrix. How would you categorize the process you selected?

4) Pick the risk that you think is most likely to impact your selected process and describe how you would move to mitigate it. Be specific about your actions with respect to your selected organization and process; do not simply repeat back the suggestion by the book.
