trainUnderstanding the working of the governments and their related agencies and bodies can be daunting. Deciphering the many jurisdictional issues between the various levels and how they impact you is complex. BRIDGE © helps you work with the right people at the appropriate levels and clarifying the interfaces with others. Part of the Stakeholder Management process is defining the strategies that include all those public areas and their role in the outcome of your projects.

Governments have adopted many different polices and their implementation often offer partnership opportunities.
