Strength in Making Smarter Policy and Regulation – Venturenauts

By February 18, 2019 Blog, Uncategorized No Comments

Making smarter policy and regulation is absolutely critical in today’s fast changing world. This change significantly impacts private sector development which underpins economic growth and living standards. More than ever, we need a better informed, faster way to make good policy and regulation, with business and government working effectively together to achieve best outcomes.

Venturenauts is a specialist in adapting regulatory best practice strategies, systems and tools from around the world to suit local contexts and circumstances in developed and developing countries.

Over the last few years, we have worked with governments, regulators, businesses and industry bodies and universities in improving regulatory environments for private sector development in:

  • Australia
  • Azerbaijan
  • Cambodia
  • Lao PDR
  • Malaysia
  • Philippines
  • Australia-ASEAN regional level.

Our core strength is our ability to work regionally across borders, at strategic and operational levels, understanding and adapting to different economies, business practices and cultures.

Most countries have similar challenges and issues in terms of institutionalising, skill development, culture and commitment regulatory best practice to varying degrees.  Its been a privilege to work on behalf of the ADB as team leaders and international consultants to design, implement and assist with RIA programs in multiple countries, working with senior executives in government, business and academia.

Its a common misconception that smarter policy and regulatory development is the domain of governments.  Common feedback we hear from governments in developing countries is the difficulty with getting the private sector and academia engagement in improving policy and regulatory development as constructive feedback is vital to good policy development as is good research and depth in capacity building.
