Politics matters. Politics decides how power is distributed, shapes the interests of individuals, and influences the performance of government institutions. Engaging directly with politics is central to achieving any meaningful change.

With over a decade’s experience in more than 30 countries, GPG has developed a distinctively political approach to managing change and strengthening political institutions.

• We work closely with senior politicians, ministers, and officials – in national, regional and local government – in some of the world’s most complex political environments, to help them identify and implement their own reforms.
• Our dedicated teams of Associates, with first-hand experience at the highest levels of politics and government, provide advice, insights and practical support to their counterparts throughout the process of managing change.
• We aim to create new ways of working within, and between, institutions, aligning incentives to establish patterns of behaviour that improve performance and strengthen political development.

In the effort to create more resilient, responsive and effective political institutions, we start with individuals, not institutional architecture. Lasting change, we believe, ultimately depends on understanding people and politics more than structure and process.
