0. Verify the ground:

• Activities and results, preferably time-bound
• Stakeholders who may play a role

1. Draw the matrix for the (diagnosis, change- or project implementation) process

• Columns for each stakeholder
• Rows for each activity of the process
• Also rows for overall supervision of components (results, purpose and overall objectives)

2. Determine the tasks and roles. Fill in the boxes:

I = Inform (gets informed)

A = Consult (gives advise)

P = Partnership (gives approval)

D = Control (takes decision)

[R = Supervision (is responsible over the delegated authority that decides. This is relevant if internal divisions of an organisation are in this matrix]

3. Check the participation

• Smooth away overlap or gaps
• Smooth away possible contradictions with existing task and power distribution
