stakeholder input
Interested party opinions
Stakeholder input is feedback, opinions, or information gathered from people who have an interest in a decision or project—employees, customers, investors, community members.
Organizations solicit stakeholder input to inform planning and build consensus: The city council gathered stakeholder input before rezoning the neighborhood.
The phrase appears frequently in corporate and governmental contexts, sometimes as genuine consultation, sometimes as procedural box-checking.
