2.1 Stakeholder Brainstorming<br />

The first step in conducting a basic SA is to brainstorm in order to create an exhaustive<br />

list of potential stakeholders. A list of stakeholders generated for the fictitious ‘MFRC<br />

Modernisation’ -- outlined in the introduction -- might include the following:<br />

• researchers working in the Directorate of Quality of Life<br />

• military service providers working in MFRCs across Canada (such as social workers, and<br />

support staff)<br />

• military members<br />

• the ‘loved ones’ or family members of military personnel<br />

• commanding officers<br />

• civilian service providers<br />

• members of the civilian population who are responsible for some aspect of a military<br />

child’s care: for example school teachers, daycare workers<br />

• extended family members<br />

• human resources policy analysts<br />

Once this list is complete, stakeholders can be categorised in a basic stakeholder matrix –<br />

a rudimentary tool used to differentiate between potential stakeholders who are positively or<br />

negatively and directly or indirectly influenced. Imagine that one proposed action in the MFRC<br />

modernization project is the closure of an MFRC. Figure 1 below, presents a sample basic<br />

stakeholder matrix that has been filled out accordingly.<br />
