We understand corporate public affairs because our team has worked in corporate affairs teams, and we have been at the heart of identifying, developing, and implementing best practice corporate affairs, including working as heads of corporate public affairs functions and disciplines, working in governments, and working in and closely with industry associations.

We have been commissioned to complete thousands of management consulting projects in Australia, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East.

We consult across industries and sectors, working with Boards, CEOs and senior leadership teams, Heads of Corporate Public Affairs, Ministers of State, heads of government departments and agencies, and business and industry associations.
