How a public affairs mandate worksApproach
Every mandate follows the same discipline, from the first map of the decision to its implementation.
Step 01
Map
We identify who decides, who advises and who is affected, and when each step of the process takes place.
Outcome
Institutional map, decision timeline and stakeholder priorities, agreed with the client before any outreach.
Step 02
Position
We build an evidence-based case that aligns our client's objective with the public interest.
Outcome
Position paper, key messages and supporting data, tested against the concerns of each stakeholder.
Step 03
Engage
We open and conduct the dialogue directly, through formal channels and with full transparency about whom we represent.
Outcome
Meetings, consultation responses and working sessions, with a written record of every exchange.
Step 04
Conclude
We follow the process through to a decision and support implementation afterwards.
Outcome
Decision tracking, implementation plan and ongoing relationship management.
