Overview
Government impacts business in an array of ways: some foundational and some tactical. It has the ability to create, modify, and eliminate markets overnight, if it chooses. Business leaders that fully appreciate this reality and engage government in ways that build appreciation and trust for what they do, will have greater freedom to operate and greater potential for growth.
Course Objectives
During this two-week course, you will learn:
- Why global firms need to understand the necessity of doing business with the government–as a customer, regulator, standard setter, taxing authority or promoter.
- How to create a sustainable platform for engagement that is based on sound values like trust, transparency, and a strong understanding of the needs, interests and competencies of the government.
