Stakeholder Onion Diagrams

This onion diagram example was designed on the base of figure "Academic advising stakeholder framework" in the article "Defining Advising Stakeholder Groups" by Julianne Messia from the website of NACADA Executive Office,
Kansas State University.
"A complete stakeholder analysis, therefore, not only names the stakeholders but accurately characterizes each stakeholder’s power and influence.
Harney (2008) identified advising stakeholders as being either internal or external constituents. Stakeholders belong in one of three distinct classifications: (1) internal core stakeholders, (2) internal but indirect stakeholders, and (3) external and indirect stakeholders. The chart below (Figure 1) depicts these groups in a diagram representing their various levels of input, influence, and involvement; the closer a group is to the “core” the more investment and weight that group has in advising. The groups utilized in this specific example assume a shared model of advising (both faculty and advising professionals have advising responsibilities). As each institution has its own unique culture and advising model, the chart should be adapted for any program or institution. For instance, an institution with a centralized advising model may list faculty as Internal but Indirect Stakeholders as they do not provide or administer advising directly."

The onion diagram example "Stakeholder diagram" was drawn using the ConceptDraw PRO software extended with the Stakeholder Onion Diagrams solution from the Management area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This onion diagram example was designed on the base of figure "Stakeholders for a System" in the slide presentation "A103: Introduction to ITS Standards Requirements Development" from the U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT) website.
"“Stakeholders for a System.” A graphic of four concentric circles arranged like an archery target. The innermost circle is a reddish tan. The three bands of colors that are further from the center are in lighter shades of tan. This is called an “onion diagram” as onions are made up of multiple layers. The inner circle is labeled “Physical System.” The next layer outward is labeled “Operational System.” The next layer outward is labeled “Containing System.” The outermost layer is labeled “Wider Environment.” There are smaller black graphics of person positioned in the different layers of the diagram. Each person has a project role next to it as follows: 1) Inner Circle has no people – It represents the system; 2) Next Layer Outward has three people labeled TMC Operator, Field Maintenance, and Operational Support respectively; 3) Next Layer Outward has two people labeled Interfacing System Owner and Purchaser respectively; and 4) Outermost Layer has four people labeled Sponsor of the Project, Regulatory Agency, Public, and Politician respectively. The picture demonstrates while they are all stakeholders, different stakeholders have different levels of influence on the physical system to be defined. The most influence coming from those closest to the center."
