How Government Affairs Professionals Save Time While Staying Ahead
As cross-jurisdictional complexities increase, the challenges of shaping policy and capitalizing on new opportunities have grown for organizations. Today, government affairs professionals need accurate, unbiased intelligence to meet the demands of complex regulatory environments.
Yet, many government affairs platforms fall short, offering limited news coverage and failing to provide measurable benefits that drive client success. This gap illuminates the need for software that not only informs but also empowers strategic decision making.
To evaluate Bloomberg Government’s business impact and ROI, we recently surveyed 105 satisfied clients who regularly use our platform and are senior directors, policy experts, and managers who work in government affairs. This article highlights our findings.
Save time doing legislative work
When balancing the needs of multiple clients or industries, government affairs professionals may not have the bandwidth for lengthy consultations with SMEs, especially when operating in short legislative sessions. Instead, they need to access to-the-point data and insights on complex policy issues.
By using our platform, survey participants saved between two and three hours each week monitoring legislative developments, finding contact information of key policy makers and their staff, and gathering critical information to influence policy.
Save time doing legislative work
Stay ahead of policy developments
Government affairs professionals have to be in the know when it comes to policy developments. Once a policy has gained momentum, it’s significantly harder to influence or reverse its course. Instead of playing defense, they need to shape the contours of a bill early on – during drafting or negotiation stages – while there’s still time to impact its direction.
To stay ahead, government affairs professionals need quick and easy access to trusted data and intelligence across jurisdictions. Most customers (80%) cite Bloomberg Government as their go-to source for tracking bill activity, according to our survey data.
By leveraging our legislative tools and resources, customers can start meaningful conversations before policies solidify, anticipate regulatory changes and risks, and spot new opportunities for clients, such as taking advantage of new tax credits or incentives.
