We are less than a year into a Conservative majority government, but the Covid-19 crisis has changed the political landscape profoundly. The normal timings of the policy cycle no longer apply, and the rules of engagement have shifted. Decisions that appeared to have made, ideas that appeared to have been accepted, funding that appeared to have been allocated – all have been thrown into doubt. Battles thought won may have to be re-fought, while fights thought not worth having may look tempting.
Understanding and adapting to this changed landscape will be vital to the success of business.
Join WA Communications in conversation with Will Tanner, founding Director of the centre-right think tank Onward and former special adviser, to discuss how Covid-19 will affect policy and delivery of the government’s agenda. Topics of discussion will include adjustments in prioritisation, swings in power bases, and what businesses can do to respond and prosper.
