FOCUS AREAS

LOBBYING:

With our deep expertise and established connections, we are equipped to guide organisations through the complexities of advocacy, identifying key decision-makers, navigating necessary processes, and ensuring that their objectives are integrated into national and international policy agendas.

STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT:

By strategically managing stakeholder connections, we help organisations avoid delays, mitigate regulatory risks, and align policies with national priorities. A strong stakeholder management framework opens the door to smoother project exe- cution, greater access to resources, and enhanced policy alignment. Our approach integrates organisational mapping and systems thinking, unifying diverse stakeholder interests into a cohesive strategy that drives positive outcomes and accelerates progress.

STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGEMENT:

Lack of effective engagement can lead to project delays or even failure, especially in complex environments like Africa. To help our clients achieve their desired outcomes and build public trust, we design customised engagement strategies that resonate with the unique charac- teristics and needs of each stakeholder group. By fostering transparent communication and collaboration, we ensure that all stakeholders are aligned and invested in the success of government initiatives.

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE:

Our team has the technical know-how to interrogate a series of dynamic political information with the use of designed frameworks to help governments and organisations arrive at favourable out- comes, without repeating the failures of the past.

LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY ANALYSIS:

In a country like Nigeria, more than 1,200 laws that directly affect local businesses are proposed by the legisla- tive houses every year. Regulatory analysis is a valuable strategic tool because of its efficiency in reducing an organisation’s compliance costs by at least 35% on a global scale. This is the tool we offer for organisations and businesses with operations directly affected by government legislation.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AUDIT:

We specialize in conducting comprehen- sive compliance audits for organizations on behalf of government regulato- ry bodies, ensuring they meet all legal and regulatory requirements. Our expert team can identify and address potential loopholes, safeguarding the integrity of the industry for both practitioners and regulators while main- taining the standards necessary for smooth and compliant operations.
