| I have no government affairs function today. I’m not big enough yet to afford the costs of a lobbyist to help me grow revenues. But I do need political insight on some level to be effective and I can’t have my project manager, engineer, system architect or admin assistant dabbling in it. It's not what they know and it takes away from what they are good at. I have just lost my VP of Government Affairs. I risk losing momentum, if not success, given the amount of time the recruitment and immersion process will take. |
Prodeo can provide political intelligence and advice for you until such time as your revenues and business plan can justify the specialized services a registered lobbyist provides. Prodeo can also provide a cost/benefit analysis for when the time will be right for making that investment. Prodeo can even help you find the right lobbyist match. Prodeo can be a short-term answer, stepping into that role on a temporary basis, keeping your initiatives on track. Prodeo can even help you find the right replacement that will fit your needs, likely at less cost than a recruiting firm. |

| My Government Affairs function needs improvement. The business side doesn’t understand the proper role of a lobbyist and the lobbyists don’t know our business as well as they should. I’m struggling to ensure the right strategic decisions are made by the right people and that lobbyists aren't pulled in contradictory directions. Most of all I don't want my government affairs investments to be wasted. Covid is forcing us to revisit budgets over the next 12-24 months. Can I possibly privatize my in-house Government Affairs function to save money without compromising its utility to the firm? |
Prodeo can design and implement an operating model that maximizes the return on investment from government affairs. It will maximize planning, establish mutual accountability, ensure routinized communication, and determine the right decision hierarchy to ensure the needs of the enterprise come first. Prodeo can help you make that determination and then find a path to privatize the function if that is the decision. |
