A decision stakeholder is anyone who is involved in or affected by your decision.

There are three different types of stakeholders:

- Those who decide with you, or you require their buy-in or resources to successfully implement the decision;
- Those who are affected by the decision directly or indirectly; and
- Those who advise by offering you different, diverse and relevant expertise and experience.

These 3 types are not mutually exclusive either, and a person can fulfil any combination of the 3 roles.

Your task for today is to spend 10-15 minutes deciding who to involve and how.

Consider:
- Who is accountable for implementation success?
- Who controls the resources required to implement successfully?
- Who is affected in someway and should be consulted?
- Who has the relevant and diverse expertise and experience to advise?
Then decide how you want to involve these people:
- In what setting should you engage them? 1-1, small group or large group.
- How will you weigh their input?
- When will you involve them?
- And what information should you give them?
