Stakeholder assessment is an important part of an environmental assessment. A stakeholder is any person, group, or organization that has a vested interest in the program or project under review. A stakeholder assessment is a systematic consideration of all potential stakeholders to ensure that the needs of each of these stakeholders are incorporated in the planning phase. For an organization or program to be successful, the involvement of those who will be affected is essential. This is true whether the stakeholders are in the community or are unit staff who will be affected by a proposed strategic plan. When stakeholders are not involved in the project planning, they do not gain a sense of ownership and may not enthusiastically accept a program or strategic goal.

Other Methods of Assessment may be used to support involvement in the strategic planning process. Thoughtful planning is required to determine the method and when to use the method.

Frequently, surveys or questionnaires are used when there are many stakeholders. For example, staff might be polled to see whether they would attend continuing education on safety and high reliability and which days and times would be most desirable.
