In this session, originally recorded on January 29, 2018, Jaime Watt, Executive Chairman of Navigator, a public strategy and communications firm, shares his five good ideas about government relations.

When approaching politicians with your issues, you will be competing for attention with many other stakeholder groups. To help politicians understand your issues, your message will need to be clear, crisp and concise. Jaime Watt presents his five good ideas on how to get your message heard and acted on.

Five Good Ideas

  1. Offer a benefit to the decision maker while simultaneously making your demand. Simply put, create a win for the government.
  2. Be aware that you are competing for attention with other stakeholder groups.
  3. Your message must be consistent and the information distilled.
  4. Be clear, crisp, concise.
  5. Discover the cross-section between your objectives and the changing government agenda.
