Carving out exemptions
A client faced new Department of Education regulations that would have affected its mission and jeopardized operations
Solution
Analyzed the political context to identify mutual goals, designed a stakeholder engagement strategy, recruited third-party subject matter experts as advocates and collaborated with client to execute.
Resolution
Successfully demonstrated to decision-makers that the new regulations contained unintended consequences. The Department of Education rewrote their regulations to carve out an exemption for client.
