StakeSource: harnessing the power of crowdsourcing and social networks in stakeholder analysis

Projects often fail because they overlook stakeholders. Unfortunately, existing stakeholder analysis tools only capture stakeholders’ information, relying on experts to manually identify them. StakeSource is a web-based tool that automates stakeholder analysis. It “crowdsources” the stakeholders themselves for recommendations about other stakeholders and aggregates their answers using social network analysis.
