While working with the client, we provide insights on how state and business institutions, as well as independent players, think tanks, and NGOs navigate the political landscape. We build effective strategies and provide the best advice on how to represent your organisation, promote your cause, and defend your interest in all relevant public policy areas. We specialise in minimising the risks and providing ample opportunity in the legislative environment, as well as bringing your interests into alignment with the public and the Government.
To implement an idea you have to know which institutions, organisations, or other actors have the necessary competences and influence in reference to your issue. We help our clients to identify and contact the relevant parties, and determine their position with respect to the key topics. Developing a targeted stakeholder map, to establish communication with key political players and interested parties, is essential in public policy projects. Mapping power relationships to identify allies and adversaries, as well as building a coalition to strengthen a lobbying case, can make a substantial difference in how an organisation’s interests are made known and taken into account.
One of the secrets to successful lobbying is to be able to predict the government’s behaviour. In-depth monitoring of the legislative and media landscape is a time-consuming and time-sensitive process. By using proven methods, executed daily, we provide effective monitoring of all relevant policy areas, deliver up-to-date information on legislative developments, as well as analysis of risks & opportunities in the political landscape. Based on monitoring results, we offer targeted recommendations on how to proceed, while defending an organisation’s interests, and advising our clients on the policy makers’ plans in the fields relevant to their businesses.
The cornerstone elements are often left behind-the-scenes. Therefore, desk research, combined with expert interviews, provides an excellent foundation for lobbying on specific topics. It allows our clients to broaden their understanding of the situation and make evidence-based decisions. Political intelligence gathering is also key in providing the most relevant proposals on-time, and tracking their advancement throughout the legislative process.
We believe that transparent and successful businesses are the basis for every country’s economic growth. However, this is only possible when provided with appropriate business conditions and reasonable regulation.
