stakeholders analysis

A process of finding the people who are important and have to say yes to make it work, as well as finding the people who are annoying and will say no to stop it from happening.

Gary: At our next Stakeholders Analysis we have to add Linda as a stakeholder because she is the Director and she gets the final say.
Dave: Ok, we also have to add Rob because he's just going to whine and complain and ruin everything if we don't involve him.

Armchair General

A person who sits in a chair behind a computer and leads people or at least attempts to, instead of doing it in person. Usually complains about government, organization, military, political, or religious events through blogs, forums, and social networking sites.

Forum administrator, "Wow, these people are really getting angry, they might start a rally for real soon."

Forum administrator2, "nah, they're just a bunch of armchair generals, they won't do anything if it means having to get up and move around."

Beat Cop

A beat cop is a police officer who walks, rides, cycles, or drives in a specific neighborhood, known as a “beat.” Because the officer routinely patrols in the same area, he or she becomes well-known in the community, creating a positive relationship between law enforcement and the community.

Neighborhood residents will usually feel comfortable approaching the beat cop to talk about issues in the community, and they may be more inclined to report problems when they feel like they have a personal connection with the department.
