When it comes to the significant bottom line impact that government regulation, legislation, or other policy decisions can have on a company, executives are often uninformed and unprepared to take action. Kathleen Shanahan, former CEO of electrical & industrial equipment distribution leader Turtle & Hughes and a Poligage investor, recently shared her thoughts about how the evolving nature of government activity can both threaten and benefit companies today, as well as how executives can leverage the changing world of work to improve how they build and access expertise on these activities in a nimble, flexible, and cost sensitive way.  Take a look at video and key discussion highlights below to learn more:

Companies Face Changing Dynamics and Need Dynamic Partners and Solutions

Executives are constantly contending with change in how government rules and regulations impact their bottom lines, and every business unit is impacted by government activity of one form or another.  Organizations need help addressing both the changes they face and to proactively think about looming changes.  Non-dilutive government funding is also a potential source of value for companies. Executives will be better prepared to succeed overall if they understand the nexus of how government activity risks and opportunities intersect with their business – whether its own operations, those of partners, customers, or whomever.

Quality and Cost-Effectiveness Aren’t Trade-Offs in the New World of Work

Executives face constant tension about business units not needing to be sustained at the same pace every day, but it’s difficult to turn human capital on or off quickly.  And in the world of government affairs, government activity is constantly changing and its impact on business is growing, but companies can’t deploy their budgets to assess and address every change. Thankfully, there are new options that make access to talent and expertise more fluid, including for the government affairs function.
