Course Summary

 

There are many factors that contribute to an organisation’s success, and that’s the management of public and government relations. Public policies are a crucial factor when it comes to organisations, and public and government relations must monitor policies to guarantee full compliance.


 

 

It is vital to understand how public policies are designed, their purpose, functions, and implementation process. There should also be close monitoring of the policy outcomes and performance to ensure it is working as intended. Being highly competent in these processes will allow for better insight on how the organisation can align themselves to the policy and continue to function efficiently.


 

 

To further guarantee an organisation’s success, those involved need to establish effective public affairs and government relation strategies. These strategies will cover every area of an organisation to enable their productivity to improve alongside the new policies. They must be knowledgeable at the stages of public policy delivery and the 5-C protocols. Strategies can also aid in building stronger relationships with clients, stakeholders and the public.
