[All PC-BA-FBA-20 Questions]

What is the recommended management strategy to be taken to manage a stakeholder with some power and some interest in the power/interest grid?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The Power/Interest Grid is a tool used to determine appropriate strategies for managing different stakeholder groups based on their level of power (influence) and interest in the project. The grid defines four quadrants, each with a recommended management strategy:

High Power, High Interest: Manage Closely

High Power, Low Interest: Keep Satisfied

Low Power, High Interest: Keep Informed

Low Power, Low Interest: Watch (Minimum effort)

The category of Some Power, Some Interest is generally considered the mid-range or main group of stakeholders. For these individuals, the best strategy is to Keep onside (or Manage Regularly). This strategy means maintaining regular communication, involving them in the project at appropriate times, and ensuring their needs and concerns are addressed so that their interest remains positive and their moderate power does not turn against the project.

D) Watch is the way to go. You don't want to waste too much time on a stakeholder with limited power and interest.

C) Keep informed seems like the way to go. You want to make sure they're in the loop, but not necessarily give them too much attention.

I remember discussing "Watch" for those with low interest and power, so that doesn't seem right. I think it’s definitely between "Keep satisfied" and "Keep onside."

I’m a bit confused. I thought "Keep informed" was for stakeholders with less power but still some interest. Maybe I need to review the grid again.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like "Keep onside" could be the right answer. It seems like the best way to manage someone with both power and interest.

I think it might be "Keep satisfied," but I'm not entirely sure. I remember something about balancing their interest and power.

Based on my understanding, the best approach for a stakeholder with moderate power and interest is to "keep them satisfied." This means actively engaging with them and ensuring their concerns are addressed.

I'm a bit confused by the options here. Is "keep onside" the same as "keep satisfied"? And how do I know which one is the recommended strategy? I'll have to review my notes on stakeholder management.

Okay, I've got this. The stakeholder with some power and some interest should be kept satisfied. That means making sure their needs are met and they feel their input is valued.

A) Keep onside? Really? That's just asking for trouble with a stakeholder like that.

Hmm, this one seems a bit tricky. I'm not entirely sure about the differences between the management strategies. I'll need to think this through carefully and consider the implications of each option.

I think the key here is to identify where the stakeholder falls on the power/interest grid. If they have some power and some interest, then the recommended strategy would be to keep them satisfied.
