  15. Stakeholder management 3 approaches Descriptive: legal requirement – "have to" deal with SH Instrumental / pragmatic: see SH as means to reach performance goals – "makes business sense" Normative: the morally right thing to do – "should" How? Identify stakeholders (map) Recognize the legitimacy of claims and issues Integrate opportunities and risks into strategic planning Develop internal SH management capability Formalize relations  communication strategy and tools Be pro-active, take initiatives (as opposed to reactive) Involve staff who have frequent SH relations in strategic planning Use, when feasible, a win-win negotiating approach Tools Stakeholder mapping Issues and impact charts Priority table Influence grid 15

  16. Stakeholder management5 key questions 1. Who are our stakeholders? Stakeholder map • 2. Which SH (demands) are “priority” in terms of: • Legitimacy, Power,(Urgency) • Ability to help, ability to hurt, and Likelihood of Acting 3. Which opportunities (potential cooperation) and threats (potential risks) do SH represent? • 4. What are our responsibilities towards SH? • Economic • Legal • Ethical • Philanthropic • 5. How to manage SH claims, relations? • Directly or indirectly, i.e., lobbying • Proactively or defensively • Negotiation strategy • Formalize SH relations within the organization: centralized vs. decentralized 16

  17. Stakeholder Management Tools • Several tools • Stakeholder mapping (1) • Issues and impact charts (3) • Priority table (2) • Influence grid (2) 17

  21. 2. Issues and impacts How do sustainability issues affect specific stakeholders? Does this group of stakeholders have an interest in and an impact on our activities in relation to this issue?

  22. 3. Priority table Score from 1 (least) to 5 (most)

  23. 4. Influence Grid High Work together to achieve common goals Enhance their influence EMPOWER PARTNER Support Influence their thinking Track behavior and communications ENGAGE MONITOR Low Low High Influence

  24. Something fishyCase study • You are a purchasing manager for a multinational food company specializing in the sale of fresh tuna and frozen fish products. • You have sub-contracted fishing boats using nets which, in addition to catching tuna, ensnare and kill dolphins. • Your office regularly receives scientifically-valid reports from government and environmental protection agencies about the depletion of the world’s oceans. One of them, the Marine Stewardship council (Fr.) keeps a close eye on your company’s operations and offers a sustainable fishing label which you really haven’t investigated.

  25. Something fishyCase study • Some of your fishing boats have physical confrontations with Greenpeace which oppose excessive fishing and the mistreatment of dolphins. • In addition, the media (video)draw regular attention to the plight of dolphins ensnared in nets. • Some of your customers, like the Auchan hyper market chain, have already taken a position, and you’ve lost their business. What if other retailers follow suit?

  26. Something fishyCase study - your turn! • Work in small groups for 30 mn. to analyze this situation • Identify major stakeholders (SH map) and their “priority” • Opportunities and risks • How to manage stakeholders’ claims/relations? (Use SH map and influence grid tools) • More specifically, which strategy to use in dealing with Greenpeace? see video. Remember that Greenpeace is a large organization with its own issues. • Make recommendations • Be ready to present your analysis and recommendations  Short PPT (5 min) Click for video on Greenpeace warrior spirit

  27. Stakeholder managementKey points Map your stakeholders Prioritize claims and issues in terms of legitimacy, power, and urgency: Use the stakeholder influence grid to segment SH in terms of support and influence Consider opportunities and risks and integrate these into company objectives and strategy Develop internal SH management capability Generally speaking, be pro-active, take initiatives Determine negotiation strategy with respect to each SH Formalize relations: communication strategy and tools For staff with frequent SH interactions Train them in key issues and negotiation approaches Involve them in strategic decisions 27
