SWOT-analysis was used to estimate basic quality factors, which influence on the company. EFAS, IFAS, SFAS methods were used and supplemented by adding the reference data for consulting companies. Visualization with using a bubble chart was proposed for EFAS, IFAS, SFAS results interpretation with the possibility of considering company’s dynamic changes. The stakeholders’ analysis was proposed to use as a part of analytical stage of development strategy formation process for consulting companies. This type of analysis was improved by using the 5-scored scale estimation as a risk-management tool. That would help to build a stakeholders’ map for further visualization.
