As policy professionals with experience at the federal, state, and administrative levels of government, we have the expertise necessary to assess and advise organizations about the impact of evolving state and federal policies on their operations, programming, and funding.
Legislative & Regulatory Analysis
Collectively, our team offers decades of experience in policy development, analysis, and legislative and administrative rulemaking at the federal and state levels. We understand how policymakers develop legislation and translate the regulatory environment into actionable data.
Our Legislative & Regulatory Analysis Services Include:
- Identifying, tracking, and analyzing bills and administrative rules that may impact the business and programs.
- Assessing the effect of regulations and policies on client’s competitiveness and how they operate across constituencies; and
- Analyzing changes between current and proposed regulations to help them maintain compliance.
- Understanding an organization’s regulatory environment is critical to planning for all possibilities.
Strategic Regulatory Reform
When solving big problems with innovations, we often encounter regulatory “lag” or areas where reforming existing regulations is necessary. When clients have an idea that the current policy does not support, we work with them to strategize the necessary reform so that their idea can come to fruition.
Our Strategic Regulatory Reform Services Include:
- Drafting legislative language that clients can share with elected officials and other stakeholders; and
- Developing collateral for use when educating policymakers on why reform is necessary.
Brief & Whitepaper Development
Our experience working in the government, nonprofit, and commercial sectors enables us to craft an effective message for the intended audience.
Our Brief & Whitepaper Development Services Include:
- Research on the topic(s) related to the strategy the client wants to realize,
- Identification of strategic audiences for brief and white paper delivery, and
- Development of narrative and data visualizations to comprehensively summarize and highlight key research findings.
