Stakeholder & Process Management

Stakeholder analysis from day one

Everything starts with a thorough stakeholder analysis. We identify all relevant stakeholders, including governments, businesses, citizens, and interest groups. Through stakeholder mapping, we analyse their influence, interests, and involvement in the project.

We set out a detailed timeline for the process and determine who will be involved, when, why, and what we aim to learn from each interaction. This process architecture is translated into a participation strategy and a clear communication plan.

Step-by-step process guidance

Our process supervisors guide you through a clear journey from divergence to convergence. We begin broadly by exploring solutions, context, and alternatives through design research. We then bring focus and work towards choices, supported by evaluation frameworks such as Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), Cost-Benefit Analyses (CBA), or Multi-Criteria Analyses (MCA).

Each phase leads to a clear interim outcome or decision. This approach maintains calm, oversight, and room for new insights without risking the project getting stuck.

Flexible process architecture

Projects are constantly evolving. New insights or changing circumstances often require adjustments to the original project definition. Our approach provides the right structure to remain flexible without losing oversight.

We guide you towards well-considered decisions with a clear process architecture that adapts as needed. The result is a solid project foundation ready for execution.

Building support for greater control

By involving stakeholders and subject matter experts appropriately, you build support and ownership. This leads to:

• Time savings: fewer delays or rework.
• Support: trust and involvement among stakeholders.
• Quality: broad input results in stronger decisions.
• Focus: you can concentrate on your core business.

Trust a process partner who looks further ahead

At Sweco, we understand that projects now increasingly involve a tangle of expectations, procedures, legal obligations, and stakeholders. Thanks to our experience with complex and multidisciplinary processes, we quickly identify what your process needs.

We think broadly about possible solutions and translate this into a smart process approach that responds to both formal requirements and local sensitivities.
