Understanding politics.
Political intelligence and analysis for boards, executives and public affairs teams
Monitoring, analysis and advice - rolled into one intelligence solution.
Politics significantly impacts the macro environment that companies and investors operate in.
We combine over two decades of expertise and experience, from the highest levels of government to the coalface of international business, to provide clients with actionable analysis that helps them make better business and investment decisions.
Globalisation has accelerated the pace of change, meaning business leaders must rapidly diagnose and respond to changes in the macro environment. Understanding and navigating changes in political leadership, government policy and wider geopolitical trends are therefore essential for an organisation to successfully take advantage of opportunities and manage risks more effectively.
We advise a range of clients on how to make sense of political developments at a global, national and local level.
As sector trends change and government policy evolves, changes in the macro landscape can have a significant impact on a company’s investment strategy and risk management approaches. We monitor and assess what changes mean for our clients across a range of regulated and sensitive sectors, and provide bespoke guidance on when and how they should respond.
We produce geopolitical analysis and sector specific policy analysis, as well as bespoke policy and political briefings for boards. We also have experience preparing speeches for c-suite leaders on the major policy and political events of the day.
