[ Stakeholders ]

Identifying and responding to stakeholders is an important task for anyone in knowledge work, including and in particular, engineers who design, construct or operate assets in the public space.

There are the big-picture stakeholders: the general public, the asset owner, the shareholders and the landholders which the asset will be on. These are massive, almost faceless ‘stakeholders’ who deserve more than being faceless. And that takes effort.

The small-picture stakeholders around us are just as important: our colleagues, our manager, the technical expert, the project manager. These stakeholders need for us do to quality work. Don’t let them down either.
