Government Relations and Policy Influencing Masterclass

While the political landscape is changing and evolving rapidly, with periodic elections creating new governments and decision-makers across the world, these changes and uncertainties make it harder for companies and industry to maintain a stable and conducive environment for business to thrive. Additionally, the number of competing voices seeking the attention of elected representatives and decision-makers is increasing, and conversations about creating fairer, safer and more successful markets are harder to facilitate. It is therefore vital for government relations professionals and lobbyists to establish an effective strategy to succeed in putting sustainable business interests on the table.

Whether you are an experienced lobbyist, or you are new to the world of policy influencing, this three-day training course is designed to equip individuals and organisations with the skills and tools to design an effective government relations and policy influencing plan. Throughout the programme, you will gain a deep understanding of the policy influencing process, from analysing stakeholders and spheres of influence, to creating a government engagement strategy and building lasting relationships with decision-makers. Through a combination of guided learning, relevant case studies and shared experiences, you will complete the course with the knowledge and skills to make lasting and impactful relationships which allow for constructive conversations on how market policies and regulations can enhance the sustainability and success of your business.
