It’s no secret that politicians, regulators, and government executives are strongly influenced by key supporters, coalition partners, and trusted peers when making decisions. The challenge in influencing these decision makers is that the most obvious access paths are the least effective. To influence successfully, you must find multiple, trusted, and open channels to your target.
FAS.research has 10 years of experience scientifically mapping and measuring stakeholder networks from which policy emerges and developing effective plans to help advocates succeed. As with all our solutions, the key to helping our clients as no other firm can is the practical application of the science of social network analysis, which is the ideal discipline to measure the strength of relationships between stakeholders, rank the influence of stakeholders, create maps of stakeholder networks and find trusted and often hidden access paths.
