(Top = highest salience / priority)
Stakeholders — drag to the pyramid level above
Major institutional investor (35% shareholding) demands emergency board meeting — and can force it.
Local community group affected by factory pollution — legitimate grievance, urgent need, but no power to force action.
Board of directors — formal authority over executive decisions, legitimate governance role, rarely urgent.
Regulatory authority with enforcement powers issues compliance notice requiring immediate action.
Strategic partner with contractual influence over product roadmaps — participates in quarterly steering committees.
Displaced workers from a closed factory — legitimate and urgent claim for retraining, but no formal leverage.
