Knowledge is Power

In government relations and advocacy who you knew used to be one of the most important factors. With longer cooling off periods for public office holders after they leave office, and strict reporting rules, government relations is no longer about who you know. Now, what you know is arguably even more important. We live in the information age, and knowledge rules.   Being able to speak the language of government, understand government priorities, and navigate the legislative and budgetary planning processes of government are critical to effective government relations. A truly winning combination is well researched public policy that fits with government priorities.
