The real question is not only names but preferences and specific expectations. Those that are not necessarily tracked in a stakeholder registry.

It comes down to how you remember things, George.

Some people associate a name with an image, others make a rhyme of it, and still others write it in their "little black/red/orange books".

This will be a good use of augmented reality built into eyeware such as the next generation of Google Glass - security forces are already using face scanning so why not put it to a general use?

Now what was your name again? :-)

I'd keep all that information in a private file, and depending on the type of information I note (such as the fact a stakeholder is a brown-nosing sycophant who likes to dominate meetings just to seem important), I might choose to keep that information off any company systems.

I concur with Kiron on this.
I try to register the uniqueness of their name, by associating with an image or something.
