Consulting for

Corporations

Many businesses only engage with government when forced—by a new regulation, tariff, or crisis. Others assume they’re too small or that government affairs is too costly or complex to pursue. Even those willing to engage often don’t know where to start.

TGS Advisory helps companies assess whether government engagement can add value, and if so, how to build a right-sized, results-driven GA function.

Consulting For

Government Affairs Firms

Government affairs (GA) professionals add exceptional value. But often, GA experts and their clients speak different languages. GA experts know the corridors of the Capitol or the State House, but may be less familiar with metrics, process, and the plant floor.

TGS Advisory can help government affairs consulting firms see the world from their clients’ perspective, helping those firms to better serve their clients.
