Work for committees, associations etc
We are experienced in association and committee practice.
Maybe you are seeking to influence your own or another trade association, or to build a lobbying alliance of organisations with a common interest, and are either unsure of the best way to go about it, or simply need extra support. You could need assistance in dealing with a representative organisation at EU (European Union) level.
Perhaps you are yourselves an association or other representative organisation needing a reliable and experienced additional short-term resource: you may be undertaking a specific lobbying exercise, facing an unexpected pressure in regulatory affairs, needing someone to run a new working group or act as an interim manager.
Alternatively, you are within the public sector and looking to reach out to an association and its members – and need consultancy help from someone with a background in that world.
We can support special task groups, commissions or other organisations in which you may be involved inside or outside your main work activity.
Ian Shearer, Director of Doublescotch Consulting, has several years experience at a senior level in two of the UK's most effective associations.
Over time he has worked with around 20 different committees and working groups – often made up of experts from various different technical disciplines – and up to 50 different committee chairmen.
We know how to get committee business dispatched consensually, efficiently and effectively, whilst keeping the inevitable surrounding bureaucracy to the minimum necessary.
