Global Government Advisory
We’re supporting governments and multilateral organisations to embrace and navigate change
Digital technologies are rapidly transforming the world as we know it. Mature and emerging economies are making important strides in digitalisation. From online government services, smart cities, and digital identities to e-commerce, mobile banking, and electronic payments; countries are prioritising the development of data-powered economic models.
However, the cross-cutting nature of digitalisation and digital transformation threatens to change the landscape for policymakers and regulators. The traditional industry-specific approach to policy-setting is struggling to remain effective, while the traditional risk management regulatory approach is failing to deliver expected regulatory control and adequate consumer protection.
Access Partnership works with governments and multilateral organisations across the world to embrace and navigate these changes. We’re helping them to take on a more proactive role in the way change is instigated in the digital age, which is crucial in ensuring effective and fit-for-purpose policymaking.
We achieve this by:
- Identifying the ways in which digital transformation is changing both the nature and the scope of policymakers’ missions and priorities.
- Examining how smart, hyper-connected digital technologies increasingly blur the lines between citizen and consumer, government and operator, and institution and platform.
- Assisting a wide range of public- and private-sector stakeholders in identifying the digital economy issues that must be put at the top of economies’ post-pandemic agendas.
- Helping decision-makers embrace and navigate the challenges of the digital age by proactively designing useful, impactful, and fit-for-purpose policies.
If you have a serious and complex issue – Access Partnership are the go-to shop. They represent the international standard and their reputation and quality precede them.
