I am settling in a bit more in my new town with my new job and being a full time student. It is not quite so overwhelming now. Whew!
I have really enjoyed my readings about stakeholder analysis. When I first started looking at stakeholders, I had envisioned one person, my boss, but as I read more, I realized that she wasn't even going to be the main stakeholder and that adding others would really add to the knowledge and experience of the planning. I had not thought of the importance of including staff earlier, but one of the web readings made me re-evaluate that. The staff members are going to be the main ones carrying out the plans, so they should have a say and be able to give their perspective and on the planning and the feasability of the steps of the plan as it relates to their jobs.
As far as the Cassidy reading goes, I believe the type of governance structure I am working with is mostly democratic. The boss makes the final decisions, but everyone has a say in the decision making. I like the charts in this book, but the reading is really not very interesting. I much prefer the web readings!

Crystal,
It sounds as though the readings helped you reconceptualize who should be included in your planning project. Your understanding of stakeholders and their roles seems to be on track, particularly where staff are concerned. Great!
