Anekanta® Consulting : Stakeholder Leadership

Cultivating public-private sector partnerships to generate the greatest stakeholder value

Through stakeholder mapping and the development of effective engagement strategies, we act as the bridge between the technology provider and government, regulatory bodies, industry or the public.

Who are stakeholders and why are they so important?

Leaders need to consider the wider impact of their decisions. Stakeholders play an important role in the success of a business or organisation. Manage your stakeholders and treat them well and they will reciprocate. Your customers, employees, partners, suppliers, public, community and environment may all hold a stake in the organisation’s success.

Get this wrong and the stakeholders may flex their muscles, wielding more power more than you may think. Customers may stop buying, making ethical choices instead, suppliers may refuse to supply, partners may not work with you, the local community may boycott services, products may be designed out, public shareholders may sell out and regulatory approval may be revoked.

Organisations need to be outward-looking.

We advise of the best strategy to manage stakeholder relationships to achieve effective engagement at all levels. We collaborate to set the bar at a high level, influence and act as a catalyst for change within ethical and legal frameworks.

We are of the firm belief that businesses must consider the diverse perspectives of the modern operating world. No longer can the shareholder be the sole recipient of value at the cost of the other stakeholders.

Corporate social responsibility is high on the stakeholder’s agenda; the shareholder can achieve more value, and return a benefit to society if the strategy is inclusive of the customer, employee (regardless of age, race, disability and gender), the multi-generational and diverse public, government, supply chain and respectful of the world we live in.

What are you doing about your stakeholder relationships?

Businesses are becoming more aware of the positive and negative effect of collaborative social influence, so much so it holds a value in the decision-making process. Now is the time to consider all perspectives and create a responsible and sustainable stakeholder management strategy.

We would love to show you how Anekanta® Consulting can help you to map your stakeholders.

  • Background to Anekanta®’s work on the ethical use of facial recognition technology
    Anekanta®AI have developed a number of independent, vendor agnostic ethical AI governance frameworks expertly designed to assess the safety of high-risk AI development and deployment and its impact on stakeholders. Here is the background to our work in this area.
  • Anekanta® recognised for ethical and responsible AI development and implementation
    We are proud to announce the release of a ground breaking new British Standard “Facial recognition technology – Ethical use and deployment in video surveillance-based systems – Code of practice (BS 9347:2024)” Anekanta® Privacy Impact Risk Assessment System™, de-risks FRT use cases anywhere in the world and recommends the new standard for UK mitigation purposes.
  • Examining the ‘cost-benefit’ of adopting Responsible AI within your business
    By adopting Responsible AI practice, businesses can unlock the transformative power of AI technology while minimizing risks and maintaining stakeholder trust. Anekanta® recommends that organisations start their AI policy and AI Management System Implementation (BS ISO/IEC 42001) alongside legal (EU AI Act) and regulatory considerations dependent on the regions where the business operates or uses AI decisions.
  • What does the new legal definition of AI systems mean in practice for commercial use cases?
    Organisations may not be certain whether their systems are AI due to the range of contrasting views from vendors and buyers. It is important that they recognise and categorise these systems as soon as possible. Developers, providers and user/deployers of AI systems which meet the EU AI Act definition criteria, and whose decisions are utilised within the EU, have to comply with the law.
  • Anekanta® Responsible AI frameworks featured by the OECD.AI Policy Observatory
    Anekanta® Responsible AI frameworks have been featured in the UK Government Resonsible Technology Adoption Unit (formerly CDEI) Portfolio of AI Assurance Techniques, and now we are announcing that we are published in the OECD.AI Catalogue of Tools and Metrics for Trustworthy AI. Find out more.
