The key stakeholders table provides a structured overview of different stakeholders involved in an application of a technology, detailing their type, needs, and pains: - **Stakeholder**: Lists the key individuals or groups involved, such as the Operations Manager, IT Manager, Maintenance Team Lead, Financial Officer, and Regulatory Compliance Officer. - **Type**: Describes the role or influence of each stakeholder, such as User, Influencer, Payer, or Gatekeeper, indicating their level of interaction or impact on the adoption of the technology. - **Needs**: Outlines the specific requirements or objectives each stakeholder has, such as improving efficiency, ensuring data security, accessing predictive maintenance tools, achieving cost-effectiveness, and complying with regulations. - **Pains**: Identifies the challenges or issues each stakeholder faces, such as unplanned downtimes, data breaches, equipment failures, high investment barriers, and risks of non-compliance. The key stakeholders table helps in understanding the diverse perspectives and priorities of stakeholders, facilitating the process of assessing the value of a specific application of a technology.
