In assembling a team of key actors in the development of initial agreement, reaching all the stakeholders inside and out is important. First of all you must have inside the organization a good mix of the organization. From high on the food chain to the actual workers at ground level. You need buy in from them and the consistency to show support and to get approval all the way to the big boss. So ranking the players is critical for success. You don’t want it too too heavy because then the lower members will be afraid to speak their mind. The outside members are also important because they are your customers or city agencies that make your organization what it is. Having a good working relationship and a good standing with the community is a very important. The key players must have a similar commitment to public interests and ranking them is a way to see if you have the right people to make a positive change in your organization with both internal and external stakeholders in mind.
