4. The negative consequences for all possible stakeholders. This might include generic groups such as ‘concerned citizens’, politicians and media. 3. The negative consequences for immediate stakeholders (i.e. staff, managers, customers, neighbours). Prone to greater subjective interpretation. Generic stakeholder concerns Specific stakeholder concerns Specific operations process concerns 1. The direct (physical and temporal proximity etc.) negative consequences of an operational incident. 2. The negative consequences for the entire operations process. Might be separated from specific incident by space and time. Specific event Layers on context for understanding negative consequences
