Do you know how current and proposed policies impact your organisation?
Organisations that endeavour to drive broader social impact often find themselves needing to engage in policy support services. Influencing government decision making is not always straightforward – it requires a nuanced approach, specialist knowledge and engagement with a broad range of stakeholders.
Without carefully considering how policy might affect your operations, your organisation risks being negatively impacted by government decisions that directly conflict with your agenda. Further, organisations that do not keep up with the electoral cycle and political landscape may miss the opportunity to influence critical policy decisions.
If you are concerned that current government decision-making is at odds with your organisation’s objectives, you might consider engaging Banksia Strategic Partners’ Policy service.
