Stefan Schepers assists and coaches companies in making the transition from traditional lobbying to innovative lobbying.
Additionally, for putting these new management concepts into practice, he can draw upon the expertise of his colleagues at EPPA in Brussels to help the company address political and regulatory situations effectively.
Making the transition from traditional lobbying to innovative lobbying is a three-step process:
step 1 |
creating awareness |
step 2 |
adapting organisation structures |
objective |
Innovative lobbying cannot be done by a Public Affairs or similar department isolated from the other operations of the company. It requires adapted organisation structures and embedding of the function in all strategic and commercial decision processes. |
service |
Starting from the company’s specific situation, Stefan Schepers helps to develop organisational structures and processes to make lobbying more effective. He advises on how to communicate and negotiate with the virtual market and how to implicate key business units and head office functions, such as R&D, finance, production, sourcing, marketing. He does this is close collaboration with general management and with the public affairs department. |
step 3 |
establishing a permanent social dialogue |
