Successful lobbying means finding a consensus between the public sector, societal concerns and corporate interests. Politicians make decisions on the basis of their level of knowledge and after weighing up diverging arguments.
CONCILIUS ensures that the relevant decision-makers know and understand your company's arguments. We substantiate your justified interest with verifiable facts and information, which we consolidate together with you. In a one-on-one discussion, larger event formats or with targeted argumentation papers, we address decision-makers with your entrepreneurial perspective. We take care that the right people are addressed with the right arguments at the right time in the right manner.
How does lobbying work?
The demands placed on political lobbying are constantly evolving. Political issues are becoming increasingly complex and require expert knowledge beyond the political level. The prejudices of a critical public equates lobbying for economic interests to automatically mean unfair influence, which several prominent cases seem to confirm. In reality, such lobbying does not work. In a democracy, decisions are based on arguments – the art of good lobbying is to make the argument understandable and to communicate it to the right people at the right time.
Direct conversation
Discuss your concerns in direct conversations with relevant political and administrative decision-makers, their employees and colleagues.
Ambassador function
Do you want communications with decision-makers, but would like or need to preserve your personnel resources? CONCILIUS communicates your concerns on your behalf.
Background talks
CONCILIUS cultivates direct communications at all political levels. In background talks, by telephone or in person, we clarify the political mood and the willingness to reach a consensus.
Fireside chats
Complex topics can often be represented with greater weight in small groups of interested parties and experts. In fireside chats we bring politicians and companies together to discuss new perspectives.
Parliamentary events
The direct, personal exchange with companies is also in the interest of decision-makers. Parliamentary events enable decision-makers and entrepreneurs to discuss ideas and objections over breakfast or dinner.
Symposiums
Congresses, workshops, conferences. CONCILIUS invites political and administrative decision-makers to information events in order to learn about the concerns, interests and innovative business models of our clients.
Proven success: The letter
The good old letter – in politics it is still one of the most successful ways to communicate present positions, deliver arguments, represent interests objectively or just to maintain personal contacts.
Argumentation papers
Lobbying is above all information and persuasion work. It provides arguments, data and facts that are needed for decision making. We design argumentation papers for decision makers with equally important information and facts about your business model as well as valid arguments for your business concern.
Advantage through knowledge
Our work is always based on a detailed and comprehensive analysis. From study results to legal assessments and professional articles – CONCILIUS develops a well-founded chain of arguments based on analysis results and decades of experience with which we approach decision-makers. Transparent, objective, consensus-oriented.
