Strategic Advocacy Planning
Planning is at the foundation of all the successful advocacy strategies employed by OAG. At the onset of each client engagement, a review and analysis of the client’s goals and objectives is conducted. Thereafter, we work collaboratively to finalize the scope of work. Afterwards, we identify and discuss potential hurdles that may undermine OAG’s ability to accomplish specific deliverables in the desired timeframe. This is a critical step necessary to assess the feasibility of successfully meeting desired outcomes.
