Explanation

Anna needs to create a power/interest grid. This grid groups the stakeholders based on their level of authority and level of concern regarding the project outcomes. The power/interest grid forms a group of the stakeholders based on their level of authority (power) and their level of interest in the project. Interest accounts to what degree the stakeholders are affected by examining the project or policy change, and to what degree of interest or concern they have about it. Power accounts for the influence the stakeholders have over the project or policy, and to what degree they can help to accomplish, or block, the preferred change. Stakeholders, who have high power and interests associated with the project, are the people or organizations that are fully engaged with the project. When trying to generate strategic change, this community is the target of any operation. Answer option B is incorrect. A salience model classifies stakeholders based on their power, urgency, and legitimacy. Answer option C is incorrect. A power/influence grid groups the stakeholders based on their power and influence. Answer option D is incorrect. A communications matrix simply maps which stakeholder need to communicate with other stakeholders.
