Grundtvig Learning Partnerships, VOKA Finland, 1 – 3 March 2011
The series of analytical interactive exercisesAiming: to analyse the situation among stakeholders in the
community development To understand their importance, decision making
power and position in the community, a possible role they might play in future development including establishment of partnership,
To understand the partners or/and conflict relations among them,
To analyse the communication patters and proposed the communication action in order to improve the situation and deal with the gaps, which might threaten the partnership development.
Those who are going to gain/loose from development process – „they have stake“
It is important to understand:
The importance of particular stakeholder in the development process
The decision making power of particular stakeholder for the process (including financial power)
The position of the given stakeholder in this structure
The behavior of given stakeholders, communication, attitudes, approaches...
Need to understand who will support/block the development process, how and why
Need to understand how particular groups of stakeholders perceive the stakeholder environment and why and how can consensus be achieved in this area
Need to know who shall be present in the development partnership
Need to understand the mutual relations among future potential partners, their conflicts and co-operations at current stage
Need to develop a qualittive measurement for partnership development
Identification of stakeholders – the list Importance and power – Venn diagram,
choosing those who are important for partnership
Partnership and conflict matrix Stakeholders communication patterns
Objectives: A list of all important stakeholders of the region
development should be drawn up Steps: Drawing up a list of the local institutions, social groups,
individual representatives and external organizations that should have the stake in the process of development through a brainstorming within a certain geographical region
Numbering a list of these stakeholders
Objectives: To find out who is more and who is less important
for the development of the area. To find out who has the right to take decisions in
the region (formally and informally) and who should be included in the process of development.
To identify the relationships and connections among the local institutions, social groups and independent representatives and find out what could be won or lost from the implementation of the actions planned in relation with the regional development.
Steps: drawing up a list of the local institutions, social groups,
independent representatives and external organizations that should take part in the process
determining the extent of importance of each identified partner by writing his name / appellation on one of the cut circles: large circle – great importance, medial circle – average importance, small circle – small importance.
placing them on the flipchart paper with two circles one in each other. The central circle means the center of the decision power, the surrounding circle means power influence.

Objectives: To determine the extent of partnership and
conflicts among the various institutions, groups and independent representatives identified by Venn’s Diagram (Exercise 2)
To identify the impacts of the partnership and conflict on the process of development
List of identified partners into a matrix – vertically and horizontally. Ranking each pair of partners in the crossing box as follows:
+++ very high level of partnership (commonly financed projects)++ medium level o partnership (regular meeting of partners)+ standard level of partnership (mutual communication without problem)– – – very high level of conflict (do not want to attend the same meeting)– – medium level of conflict (do not want to cooperate together)– existing conflict of smaller size (lack of communication) 0 no relationship

Objective To analyse the communication pattern of various stakeholders of the
developmentSteps Participants use the communication pair wise matrix, and analyse each
stakeholder and his/her pattern of communication. Very good communication pattern (information flow, the effort to discuss
and have mutual communication etc.) is marked by number 2, medium communication pattern (only informatin flow without expectation to get an answer) is marked by 1 and no communication is marked by 0.
Participants sum up numbers horizontaly and verticaly and set up pair of indexes for each stakeholder
Place each stakeholders in the communication map (communication pasice, active, no communication, both ways communicators) –see example
Example of the pair wise for communication
