Information overload: Industry leaders are restructuring their govt. affairs teams to cope. Some are focusing on issues rather than geographies. Check out POLITICOPro’s Policy Insider Report to learn more about the challenges facing policy professionals.
Policy Professionals' Struggle to Manage Information Overload
Heightened corporate interest in politics and policy means policy professionals need to keep pace with more issues than ever before, and the pace of the news cycle, the rise of social media, and dispersion of information sources are making that job especially hard.
With these growing demands on their attention and time, many policy professionals are turning to policy intelligence tools— like legislative and regulatory tracking and directories of government stakeholders— to work more efficiently. Most policy professionals say these tools are useful for helping them find and organize all policy information relevant to a policy issue in a single place.
Since this overload of ever-changing information shows no signs of slowing, some policy leaders are experimenting with their team structures and information management systems in an effort to keep up. For example, some leaders have restructured their teams to focus on issues rather than geographic jurisdictions, allowing their team members to become subject matter experts on a smaller set of key policy areas.
