In a business case, which component explicitly identifies the individuals and groups affected by the initiative?

• A. Link to Top Quartile is a critical requirement
• B. Executive summary
• C. Identify stakeholders both internal & external
• D. The number of districts or assets involved

Answer: (C)

Identifying stakeholders who will be affected by the initiative is the component that explicitly names the individuals and groups involved. This focus ensures you map out both internal and external participants—employees, managers, customers, suppliers, regulators, and community groups—so you can plan communication, change management, and engagement strategies accordingly. The executive summary provides a high-level overview, the link to Top Quartile is about a target or benchmark, and the number of districts or assets involved describes scope, not who is impacted. By listing who is affected, the business case becomes credible and actionable for those who need to support or respond to the initiative.
