Policy Desing for Public Sector and Non-Governmental Organizations
One of the key responsibilities of a Lawyer is to prepare and draft international partnership or cooperation agreements across various sectors, especially involving entities, associations, and public authorities from different countries. However, a merely legal approach is not always sufficient to address the diverse needs underlying these agreements and to achieve the desired outcomes.
Policy design is our strategic approach to creating effective and sustainable policies aimed at fostering the development of foreign and international relations based on cultural exchange, promoting dialogue among peoples and communities worldwide. It is tailored to the unique needs of public sector entities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and institutions involved in cultural and cultural diplomacy initiatives. It emphasizes a structured methodology for addressing complex challenges, fostering innovation, and achieving long-term goals.
Strategic planning through policy design offers several benefits, including:
Clarity of Purpose: Clearly defined objectives and pathways for achieving desired outcomes.
Enhanced Efficiency: Streamlined processes that reduce redundancies and optimize resource allocation.
Stakeholder Engagement: Inclusive frameworks that ensure the participation of relevant actors.
Resilience: Policies designed to anticipate and adapt to external challenges or changes.
Outcome-Based Results: A focus on measurable results that align with overarching organizational goals.
Professional Expertise and Background
My expertise in policy design is grounded in both academic and practical experience. I hold a PhD in "Public Planning, Policy Design and Management" and have over a decade of professional experience in cultural diplomacy, as well as place brand management and protection. This includes:
Extensive travel and the establishment of cooperation networks across Europe.
Negotiating international cultural partnerships.
Developing strategic plans for sub-state foreign relations (e.g., city diplomacy and regional diplomacy).
Leveraging a robust understanding of international and transnational law to inform policy initiatives.
Methodology and Phases of Action
Our policy design process is structured into two main phases:
Proactive Phase: Strategic planning to develop and implement appropriate policies. This phase uses a simplified and accessible version of System Dynamics modeling to create actionable and efficient plans.
Reactive Phase: A contingent phase managed by the legal sector to safeguard proactive actions or address external disruptions. This ensures the continuity and protection of strategic initiatives.
For more complex scenarios requiring specialized expertise, the legal team collaborates with qualified external professionals to provide comprehensive solutions.
