Public Policy Support
Supporting government through policy development and improvement.
Policy and Strategy Consultation
Public agencies face the increasing challenge to comply with new and evolving demands to provide more services with fewer resources. Whether the agency is a school board, county government, or state department, the need to craft and implement effective policy is often overlooked due to limited expertise and resources. We can provide agencies with policy expertise within their budget.
Policy Review
We can review existing policies in short order and help triage where attention is most needed.
Policy Development
Our team of experts can leverage years of expertise, as well as a network of other specialists, to insure your policy is crafted to meet your jurisdiction’s needs.
Procedural Audits
No policy is truly effective until reliable controls are implemented to insure procedure follows the policy. We can test your procedure for policy compliance, as well as recommend updates to your existing procedures.
Data and Analytics
Elected officials and the public at large gain confidence about the effectiveness of a policy when data can be accurately gathered and delivered in easy-to-understand reporting. We can help with that, too!
Our Process
Assess
Our team can review your current policies and procedures to assess any deficiencies.
We also like to review prior-year’s policies and procedures to determine how effective your organization is adapting and improving.
Our multi-dimensional approach to assessing an organization’s policies aims to provide our clients with an insight into their own policy development capacity.
Identity
Once we have assessed an organization’s policies and procedures, we identify areas in need of improvement, areas requiring immediate attention, and areas where we think your policies are adequate for your needs.
If it isn’t broken, we won’t try to fix it!
Controls
A policy is only as good as its controls.
Controls are the markers indicating the point at which a procedure is deviating from the policy it underwrites.
We will recommend controls your organization can monitor to insure the success of your policies.
Review
A periodic review, or audit, is helpful to insure the procedures to not deviate from policies over time.
We are happy to return to perform those reviews, or we can recommend ways in which your organization can conduct those reviews with the personnel and resources available.
