Description

We help governments to set up priorities, goals and measures, as well as to mobilize to work collaboratively with various stakeholders. New regulations can put the value at risk and create new opportunities through programs such as stimulus packages or government subsidies. A rigorous and quantified assessment of the value at stake from these risks and opportunities—over the short and long term—is critical to prioritize policy tools. We help governments identify and understand the key regulatory issues that may affect the industry, leveraging an in-depth understanding of the benefits and unique insights into the threats that could arise.

To execute the strategy, governments must proactively engage with a broad range of stakeholders—society, consumers, media, shareholders, labour force. We help clients identify critical stakeholders, understand their overt and obscure agendas and priorities, and map out each group’s influence in decision-making.
