The government is extremely powerful in shaping the behaviors of individuals, businesses, and even entire industries. It can re-write laws and regulations, appoint new oversight, and re-direct funding on a whim. Having a proactive strategy to communicate with the key parties that impact you as a business or organization might be the difference between long-term success or even short-term viability.
