Salience Model

Stakeholder classification model based on power, urgency, and legitimacy.

Definition

Stakeholders with all three attributes are 'definitive' and receive the most attention. Variants add proximity.

Example

A regulator with authority, an urgent deadline, and a legitimate claim is a definitive stakeholder.

Exam tip

Salience = power + urgency + legitimacy.
