Legislata is a powerful software platform that can help you stay on top of the information that matters to you. But sometimes, you want to not only know what’s happening today, but also what is likely to happen in a month, a year, after the next campaign.

Political risk advisory can help provide the insights and support to guide you through the uncertainties of politics and policy changes. Our team has experience working with clients like the Department of Defense, United Nations, European Parliament, and Fortune 500 companies, and a facility with a variety of Big Data techniques that help turn mountains of information into actionable intelligence.

However, we know that political risk consulting can seem like a vague and nebulous - and possibly expensive - purchase. You may not want to engage in a lengthy back and forth with a sales team just to commission a report you don’t need by the time it’s over.

That’s why we offer a political risk consultation to help get people started. For only $99 dollars, we’ll have a 30-minute call to diagnose your main political risk problems, suggest answers, and redirect you towards bigger services if that’s necessary. Like having a coach for a challenging world, rather than just another professional services firm.

Everyone who completes a consultation also receives a referral code and will receive a $10 Amazon gift card for every referral you make (as well as $25 off for those you give the code to). Our aim is to help the most people navigate a tricky topic and appreciate you taking the first steps to protecting your organization from uncertainty.

What are some of the things that political risk can do?

Unsure about whether a consultation can help? Below are some of the common techniques that political risk use to help you navigate an volatile political and economic world.

Forecasting and monitoring the political landscape

Whether you’re a legislative staffer who needs to know whether a press conference means your bill is doomed or an advocate who is wondering what might be coming in the next legislative session, knowing what the present means for the future is a fundamental skill for anyone in the political ecosystem.

We teach workshops (online or in person) providing both a high-level overview and practical techniques to better anticipate what is likely and unlikely in your world. These workshops have been taught at the Pentagon, UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and universities.

Scenario Planning

The world is highly uncertain now. Our assumptions about what the world will be like in 5 years - or even 5 months - are shaky to the point of useless.

Luckily, scenario planning has been found to help in these situations. Based on the work of Shell, RAND, and the Intelligence Community, this approach encourages a blend of internal and external knowledge to stress-test plans and spark conversations within teams.

Scenarios can be built for industries, countries, or even the global order, from 2024 to 2050. Click the image to learn more.

Scenario strategy workshops & simulations

Militaries and business often use simulations or wargames to test strategies, build insights, and predict what might happen in a complex and uncertain situation.

Matrix games are a tool to bring apply this approach quickly, without the need of months of preparation. They are therefore perfect for the current environment, when a traditional wargame may be obsolete by the time it's played.

Matrix games can be deployed within a week of commission and take 3-5 hours to run. They are best suited to groups of 4-20 and can help build resiliency across all levels of an organization.

Thought Leadership Reports

According to a 2021 IBM 2021 IBM survey, business executives spend two hours per week on thought leadership content - original research that helps push new ideas into the public arena. Crafting valuable thought leadership that captures your audience’s attention requires more than just drafting a blog post or uploading a panel discussion. It’s a process that balances diving deep into new directions while also remaining comprehensible enough for a non-specialist audience. It’s a technique that we’re specialized in.

Our thought leadership reports are designed to be both accurate and digestible. They employ data visualization, graphical elements, and concise writing to make a report a busy executive or elected can actually read. We can work with you to design the best possible research and can partner with a major media or public relations firm to promote the final result. Get in touch and we can start working on a program to elevate your brand in your market.
