Group Decision and Negotiation methods can help identify optimal, or efficient, solutions to complex problems and so aid decision-makers. However, recommendations depend for their success, in part, on their political feasibility within, usually, complex organisational settings. A part of the complexity of effective implementation derives from understanding the responses of stakeholders to the proposed decisions. The responses of stakeholders can be complex because stakeholders respond not just to the decision but also to the responses of other stakeholders. When the recommendations are very important, and when the possible stakeholder responses are likely to be complex, then the use of some form of modelling of stakeholder dynamics is likely to be helpful. This paper proposes such a modelling process designed to aid the thinking of a decision-making team as they seek to ensure their decision is politically feasible. The modelling process is designed to facilitate effective negotiation in groups about the potential impact of stakeholder responses. The modelling process is illustrated through a real case.

群体决策和协商方法可以帮助确定复杂问题的最佳或有效解决方案，从而帮助决策者。然而，建议的成功部分取决于它们在通常复杂的组织环境中的政治可行性。有效实施的复杂性部分来自于了解利益相关者对拟议决策的反应。利益相关者的反应可能很复杂，因为利益相关者不仅会对决策做出反应，还会对其他利益相关者的反应做出反应。当建议非常重要，并且可能的利益相关者反应很复杂时，那么使用某种形式的利益相关者动态建模可能会有所帮助。本文提出了这样一个建模过程，旨在帮助决策团队在寻求确保其决策在政治上可行时进行思考。建模过程旨在促进有关利益相关者响应的潜在影响的小组有效谈判。通过一个真实的案例来说明建模过程。
