ESTEEM: Engage stakeholders through a systematic toolbox to manage new energy projects


Step 3: Identifying conflicting issues

3.1. Conflicting issues table

How convergent or divergent are the views of the project managers and other stakeholders hold about the project?

To clarify these points of agreements and disagreement, please use a ‘key issues table’, a tool that helps you get a synoptic and comparative outlook over the main players views (step 2.1, 2.2, 2.4).

Existing source of potential conflicts and disagreements about project features, as well as strong points of consensus or agreement to build on will be pointed as a result.
