THE OHANA APPROACH
We believe that close collaboration is the key to solving the many environmental challenges posed to all of us as we transition into a more sustainable society. This means that our consultants will not only help you understand what these challenges mean for your organisation, but also fully support and engage with your team to implement the solutions that can lead to strategic advantages in the long term.
Our approach is based on three key pillars that shape our methods and engagement from start to finish.
-
CHANGE ROOTED IN REALITY
We work on the ground with companies and EU decision-makers. We convey the concerns of different industries and civil society organisations to make sure their voices are heard and the trends and problems occurring in the outside world are taken into account within the European bubble. Our goal is to shift the boundaries and make a real, positive impact on policy.
-
CHANGE THROUGH AWARENESS-RAISING
We believe that the world would be a better place if everyone was truly aware of the stakes involved in environmental and climate issues. Citizens and companies must take action on an ongoing basis to protect people and the environment by challenging the status quo. We know that our survival and the transformation of the world we live in depend on everyone taking responsibility.
-
CHANGE THROUGH COLLABORATION
We’re stronger together. We’re certain that by pooling our skills, knowledge and sensitivities, we’ll be able to forge a more sustainable society. Collaboration and compassionate dialogue will allow us to drive through lasting change in our societies, and everyone has a role to play. Companies, citizens, industries, NGOs, governments… We’re leaving no-one behind, not even the most sceptical or reticent members of society.
OUR VALUES
OUR PROCESS
The services offered by Ohana encompass several stages which are always customised to suit our clients’ needs. This personalised approach means that we can listen to your requirements and provide the ideal recommendations and support for your needs. Here’s an overview of what you can expect when working with us.
INITIAL MEETING
The Ohana Team may be small but it comes with a wide range of expertise. At this stage of the process you will be matched with an expert consultant in your field, who will work alongside your team to guarantee the success of our project.
At an initial hour-long meeting, we will discuss your organisation’s current circumstances, main objectives and expectations. Our public affairs consultants will provide you with an overview of the current political landscape, detailing all relevant trends, and explaining how our expertise and strategic partnerships can help you achieve your goals.
WRITTEN PROPOSAL
Based on the ideas discussed during our initial meeting, we will elaborate and send you an official work proposal. This proposal will contain a range of tailored solutions that suit different budgets and which focus on the opportunities identified for your organisation.
APPROVAL
We are always readily available to discuss and clarify any questions your organisation may have after receiving the official proposal. Once it’s approved, our team of experts will get straight to work, developing a comprehensive public affairs strategy.
SUPPORT AND COMMUNICATION
Throughout the whole project, you can rely on regular updates from our team regarding the progress of the work and any emerging political developments. Transparency, pedagogy and continuous support are the fundamentals that guide all the work we do as a public affairs consultancy.
FINAL REPORT
Once the work has been completed, you will receive a final report with a complete overview detailing the results obtained, any possible challenges identified and a set of recommendations for future action.
FOLLOW-UP AND ADVICE
Although the final report is a thorough document, complete with all the information our clients may need, its delivery is not the end of our relationship. Even after you have received the final report, Ohana will continue to provide you with support and advice to help guarantee the successful implementation of the measures recommended for your business.
