Stakeholder audiences cover a range of customers, sales professionals, and others. Which three key position groups make up important stakeholders? (Choose three.)

Executives are crucial stakeholders as they provide strategic direction, approve funding, and ensure alignment with organizational goals and vision, making their buy-in essential for project success.

While influencers are important for shaping opinions and driving adoption, they are often a subset of or act upon other stakeholder groups (like executives or decision-makers) rather than being a distinct primary position group like executives or employees for general stakeholder classification.

Employees are internal stakeholders who are directly involved in executing projects and often impacted by changes, making their engagement and understanding vital for implementation and adoption.

Decision makers are critical, but this group often overlaps significantly with 'Executives' or other project leads, and in general stakeholder models, 'Executives' more broadly encompasses the high-level decision-making authority.

Suppliers are external stakeholders who provide necessary goods and services, and their relationship and performance directly impact project timelines, costs, and overall business operations.
