Another useful way to think about stakeholders and their influence on the evaluation is to use an onion diagram--a graphic of concentric circles. In this image, the person at the center of the onion is the most influential and important to the project. As you move toward the outer rings, the stakeholders have less influence and impact on the evaluation. It's easy to use this basic model provided in this Power Point Stakeholder Map to create your own stakeholder analysis map. References : Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
