Goals / Remit
In periods of significant transformation on economic, political and societal level, companies are challenged to adapt and react rapidly to changing policy environments and market circumstances. Information is key, but not enough. SoWhatCommunications believes its real added value starts where monitoring stops, helping clients to answer the So What questions:
• How does this impact you
• What to do about it
• How to turn strategy into action
Political decision-making can directly impact companies’ market positions. Corporate leaders have to ensure to be part of the conversation and have a voice at the table in those fora where decisions are made. Depending on the possible impact and their business strategy, companies have to choose how to deal with regulatory initiatives. We help our clients make that choice. Together we develop a concrete strategy and action plan and help them implement it, based on a realistic assessment of the chances of success to affect policy outcomes.Main EU files targeted
