Stakeholder Analysis
Published: 13 November 2024
We are building an understanding of how GALLANT’s stakeholder relationships have changed over time and their contribution to GALLANT’s ‘systems story’. Through a stakeholder analysis involving academics, government staff and professionals connected to GALLANT, we will deepen knowledge of systemic barriers and facilitators of sustainable transformation at the city scale.
Stakeholder contributions to GALLANT’s ‘systems story’
Following a series of exploratory workshops with GALLANT researchers related to stakeholder relationships, it emerged that understanding the role and evolution of stakeholder relationships during the project was critical to deepen our knowledge of systemic barriers and facilitators of sustainable transformation at the city scale.
The Systems Transformation team began a formal stakeholder analysis study in May 2025. Drawing on documentary analysis and one-on-one interviews with a wide range of stakeholders (academics, local government staff, professionals from organisations such as C40 and DEAL) the study adopts a complex systems perspective to understand the role of transdisciplinary, inter-organisational relationships in systems transformation. This approach – drawing on a framework developed by McGill et al. 2020 – helps to understand the dynamic interactions between GALLANT, the systems it attempts to transform, and the wider environment, aspects which remain relatively underexplored in traditional measurements of impact.
