Build the relationships and alliances that make change possible.

Influence depends on relationships and on a clear read of who matters, what they need, and how decisions are shaped. The Action Exchange helps clients map stakeholder ecosystems, engage senior actors, and build the coalitions required to shift policy, markets or industry practice. We specialise in engaging senior stakeholders in complex environments where policy, markets and community expectations intersect.

When clients seek to shift policy or industry practice, acting alone is rarely sufficient. Our coalition building brings together aligned stakeholders to develop shared positions and advocate collectively. We design and run coalition strategies that build on existing relationships and sustain influence over time through visible alliances, coordinated advocacy, or discreet behind-the-scenes alignment, depending on the issue and context.

Our work typically includes:

• Direct stakeholder engagement and relationship management

• Recruiting and convening working groups, outcome-driven workshops, research and roadmaps

• Collaborating with stakeholders to co-create impact

• Impact measurement

The result is ongoing two-way engagement that builds support, reduces friction and delivers change in the real world.
