Suggested Answer: B

The stakeholder management strategy for senior managers should be constant active management. Senior managers have high power and high interest in the project, as they are responsible for overseeing its implementation and ensuring its alignment with organizational goals. They also have influence over other stakeholders, such as end users and employees. Therefore, they need to be regularly engaged, consulted, informed, and involved in decision making throughout the project lifecycle. Option B is the correct answer.

The finance director must be a real 'Scrooge' to want to use the profits for acquisition instead of investing in the company's growth. Bah, humbug!

CATWOE? Really? That's way too complex for this simple decision. Shelly should keep it simple and go with the power/interest grid.

The POPIT model seems like a bit of a stretch here. I don't see how that would really help Shelly in this situation.
