The Challenge: Organisations struggle to identify who actually shapes EU policy outcomes. Relevant decision-makers shift as legislation moves through drafting, consultation, committees, and trilogues. Resources often go toward high-visibility campaigns while substantive technical work proceeds elsewhere, rendering engagement ineffective. Why It's Difficult: A single piece of legislation involves Commission officials across multiple directorates-general, Parliament committee staff and shadow rapporteurs, Council working groups from 27 member states, and advisory bodies. Real engagement over technical provisions often sits at operational levels—roles receiving little public attention but exercising substantial discretion over regulatory details. Without institutional knowledge and policy networks, organisations cannot distinguish ceremonial consultation from genuine engagement opportunities. Our Solution: Cultivate Partners provides advice on how to engage in Brussels based policy networks built over two decades. We provide advocacy support to organisations to support drafting of provisions, working with relevant committees understanding member state positions on particular files—including which departments deliver impact assessment terms, which Parliament committees handle legislative reports, and which Council working groups shape compromise texts. The Outcome: Precision engagement multiplies influence effectiveness while reducing wasted resources on symbolic consultations that generate no substantive impact. How We Deliver: Brussels-based relationship networks founded on transparent, trusted engagement. Real-time intelligence on institutional dynamics, constraints, and how to present technical input in formats that support effective policymaking.
