Strategic consulting

A successful and effective lobby follows five principles:

  • Building a strong reputation;
  • Expressing a credible and consistent message;
  • Leading the discussion from simply being right to achieving your goals;
  • Building and maintaining the relevant networks;
  • Conducting a structured dialogue with the relevant stakeholders.
Government policy and regulations are key factors of uncertainty in you organizations strategic decisions. Clarity as to the continuity of policy- and regulations can make or break your plans. LobbyLab’s step-by-step approach can help chart out the policy- and regulation landscape and determine a strategy for limiting uncertainties.

We point out the developments and the playing field for you and give concrete interpretation to the chosen strategy. Through our network we can quickly and effectively provide all the resources necessary for a successful realization of your strategy.

Stakeholder management

Stakeholder management deals with building and maintaining the relevant networks and initiating structured dialogue with the various stakeholders. The goal is not to speak to as many people as possible, but to approach the right people at the right time. Stakeholder management is based on the 3-M principle: mapping, mobilizing and managing.

LobbyLab can help you chart out the stakeholder landscape, assist in managing the network and conduct the dialogue on your behalf.

Organizational consulting

Businesses and organizations increasingly require the support of their own lobbyist or public affairs professional. LobbyLab can help you anchor the tasks of lobbying or public affairs within your organization.

If public affairs fuction is new to your organization, we can work with you to determine the purpose of the public affairs position. What are your public affairs goals and what tools will you need to achieve these goals? How will the position be imbedded in the organization and how will the work be structured? What competencies will the public affairs professional require?

LobbyLab can also advise on the further professionalization of the existing public affairs structure within your organization.
