Procedures
People are important and maybe even more so in lobby and advocacy. For BBO, people are the starting point for its advices and trainings. BBO empowers your people, your lobbyists, enlarges their capacities and strengthens their positions. Our support for your own lobby strategy is tailor-made.
Lobby and advocacy only work if you know the tiny little detail of the decision making process, if you know your counterpart to the bone and if you engage yourself in an open and longlasting dialogue. This is why BBO has its office opposite the Parliament Buildings in The Hague and the European Commission in Brussels. BBO is in more than one way an intermediary between politicians and civil society organisations. The BBO advisors know both worlds from within, have networks in both and bring these worlds together for you. We keep ourselves informed of today's issues and tomorrow's debate and think of strategic answers and creative solutions even before the problem has been presented publicly.
Society and politics change all the time. The contents and methods of lobby and advocacy should reflect these changes. The BBO team introduces you into this everchanging world of politics and lobby and clarifies its meaning. But BBO also cooperates with people and organisations from many other sectors and fields of interest.
