The document discusses developing effective relations with the government. It emphasizes understanding the political system and logic, including that politics is shaped by reflexivity between media, public and politicians. Developing a strategy requires analyzing decision-makers, crafting relevant messages, and positioning issues. Building strong government relations requires knowing stakeholders, showing alternatives, and leveraging local networks to influence the political situation.
Your company MUST engage with elected officials (if you don’t already) if our 'representative' democracy is to work. This presentation teaches you how to have interactions with elected/agency officials that yield TANGIBLE results. You don’t need to hire an expensive lobbyist to play a role and have an impact on your company's bottom line. The Art of Politics can show you how.

It is my pleasure to present the 10th Scottsdale Police
Department Strategic Plan (2014/15-2019/20). This document
is built on the foundation of past successes and combined
with a vision for the future of our Department and our
community. The strategies identified in this plan are the
product of three different planning retreats and determined
to be priorities as a part of our in-depth planning process.
This five-year plan encompasses the Department’s
commitment to community concerns through six Strategic
Directions. These directions include enhancing capabilities,
building and enhancing community partnerships, investing
and retaining in exceptional employees who are skilled and
efficient in their duties, and advancing technological solutions
while planning for future growth.
I encourage you to review the included Strategic Plan initiatives, which reaffirm our commitment to the
citizens to be proactive in our police services and continually strive to enhance the safety and quality of
life here in the City of Scottsdale.

EFFECTIVE INFLUENCING
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
14. The core of effective political influencing
Political influencing is about leveraging yourself amongst other good
purposes.
Political support is not enough,
it has to hurt not to support your interest/ case.
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
15. Focus on the desired political outcome
Your own position in the political process is just a mean to
reach the desired political outcome.
Your public profile is a mean to empower yourself to influence
effectively, not to influence directly.
Give the decision maker, or stakeholders near the decision
maker, the honor/benefit of the political solution, political
idea you present.

THE REFLEXIVITY OF POLITICS
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
17. What is the reflexivity politics?
• Democratic politics has always been a reflection of the public majority's perception
• Media has in the information age the power to interpret the perception of reality, and trough that
the power to steer the policy development. Media replaces class, family and culture as reference
for interpretation.
• The reflexive effects between media, public and politics becomes deciding for the policy
development.
Public

Politics
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
18. Politics is shaped in a room of reflexivity
• Politics is developed in a reflexive space – involving the
public, the economy and execution of authority:
– The public governs policy development
• Public focus on weak/wrongful execution of power results in
demands for a new policy – demands for action
• Politics becomes a reflection of how
economic, legal, bureaucratic and political power is executed and
interpreted among the public
• The higher the symbolic value, the stronger the
political repercussions

20. Sir Humphrey: Something must be done!
Sir Humphreys political
syllogism*:
1. Something must be done
2. This is something
3. Therefore we must do it
* syllogism (Greek), A type of logical argument first studied by Aristotle, in which one proposition (the conclusion) is
inferred from two others (the premises) of a certain form. In a valid syllogism, the proposition follows as a logical
conclusion from the premises.
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
21. Consequence:
– There are only 22 percent of the members of Parliament who think it is the
political system who sets the political agenda. 71 percent think it is the
journalists and media who control the public debate.
– As much as 67 percent of the representatives answers that the media has great
or some influence when they are going to decide in a political case.
– Four percent of the representatives think it is economic interests which often set
the agenda, one present think it is NGOs

30. Strategic communications: Define the debate
What separates good communicators from the mediocre
is a conscious awareness of their own linguistic universe
which enables them to define debates
Cognitive linguistics seeks to understand the nature of
language, how we use it, and why we are convinced, by
exploring the unconscious.
“Framing is about getting a language that fits your
worldview. It is not just language. The ideas are
primary – and the language carries those ideas, evokes
those ideas.” (George Lakoff )

34. How to build strong government relations
CONCLUSIONS
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
35. 1. Analyze what you would like to achieve
– Does it require an amendment?
– Is it an ideological issue?
– Is it a smaller concrete case?
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
36. 2. Know the people
– Who is it necessary to influence?
– Where do they stand within their own party?
– What is their position within their own party, and the government?
– What do they burn for?
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
37. 3. Don’t under estimate the Parliament
– The parliamentary groups to the governing party's have significant influence in the government.
– Central MPs has easy access, and is listened too by the Ministers
– The Groups, and the MPs, do sometimes have a different agenda then the government
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
38. 4. The opposition is useful with a majority government too
– The opposition has power when it appears with attractive solutions for the voters.
• No government can in the long run live with a situation where the opposition appears with more
attractive solutions than the government.
• The opposition has power to enlighten issues which harms the government
– The opposition is the next government
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
39. A B C D
5. Show your alternative
– Very often we see that various interests criticize the government without having any concrete
alternatives to the current policies
– A clear success factor is to be clear and specific on what you want. You need to develop a holistic
alternative:
• It increases the likelihood that the government takes implements your alternative in its policy
• Alternatively, it can be the basis for a prolonged pressure by the opposition, who always are
looking for well considered and specific alternatives to the policies of the government.
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
40. 6. Know the political situation and the political reality
– What is the political situation in the government, within the opposition, in the various political
parties and between the government and Parliament?
– What issues is dominating the media?
– What issues has the potential to move voters?
– What arguments will be valid within the rhetorical reality?
E V I D E N C E - B A S E D C O M M U N I C AT I O N S
41. Hvordan påvirke lokalt
7. Use local networks – Norwegian politics is more local than
national
Local politicians
Local organizations
Local spokespersons
Local media

Overføring til kommuner og fylkeskommuner for å dekke utgifter til blant annet barnehage, skole, helse og omsorg for barn og eldre. Dette omfatter både rammeoverføringer og øremerkede tilskudd. Lønns- og driftsutgifter i staten. Store utgiftsområder innenfor denne kategorien er blant annet Forsvaret, direktorater mv., politiet, Arbeids- og velferdsetaten og samferdselssektoren. Tilskudd til helseforetakene og universitets- og høyskolesektoren. Tilskudd til helseforetakene utgjør om lag 80 prosent av utgiftene i denne kategorien.Andre utgifter omfatter blant annet ulike overføringer til barnetrygd, kontantstøtte, internasjonal bistand, næringsstøtte og stipend og rentestøtte gjennom Statens lånekasse for utdanning.
