The roles of governments and the private sector in policy development and delivery are changing. The demand for greater accountability in both the government
and corporate sectors places enterprises under ever-increasing scrutiny, while the challenges to improve productivity and provide justifiable and sustainable
policy outcomes require new skills and leading-edge tools.
These
challenges include:
Devising effective strategies for aligning outcomes with policy objectives
Identifying and filling the policy gaps created by institutional reform
Improving the governance and management of public corporations
Balancing fair competition and commercially viable service delivery at reasonable prices
Measuring policy impacts and their
effectiveness and efficiency
Ensuring welfare outcomes are identified and scrutinised before public investments are delivered
Designing solutions that balance the interests of corporations and communities
Pricing infrastructure to achieve policy objectives.
Clients seek answers to these sorts of questions:
How should we prepare a policy framework and
implementation strategy?
What role can government constructively play in delivering better transport and infrastructure outcomes?
What tools should we use to evaluate the effectiveness of policies?
Are the governance arrangements of our organisation working?
How can we work with our stakeholders to better frame policies?
What are the economic effects of our
policy proposals?
How can we review and update particular legislation?
What needs to be done to promote appropriate use of various transport modes?
