Government and Community Relations

Often the confusion and apparent disagreement between private ventures and public sector organizations result from differences in language and perspective rather than conflicting goals and objectives. By effectively understanding both sectors, from experience, The Maguire Company can enhance communications among all the involved parties and ensure that whenever possible, the common interests and goals overcome the differences in approach and style. Whenever appropriate, we will develop and/or implement strategies for improving effective communications among all the involved parties. The firm does not engage in direct legislative lobbying, which does not preclude legislative strategy development and/or support services. Employees frequently provide expert testimony to legislative committees.

Public Policy Issue Management

Effective public policy issue management requires a blend of technical expertise, "political savvy" and hard work. The Maguire Company's personnel have a proven track record of successfully initiating, develping and implementing complex public policy initiatives within all three branches of government.

Policy Development and Coordination

Policy directives are intended to guide, encourage, and reinforce behavior. However, if the policies are confusing, incomplete or contradictory, they can be counterproductive. By helping an organization's management develop policy directives and strategic initiatives that recognize the needs and expectations of all involved parties and that are part of an integrated, long-term approach, the Maguire Company can help ensure the success of the organizations's management and operation.

Research and Report Preparation

Properly organized and logically presented research can save valuable time for key decision-makers. With a broad array of experience in both preparing and using research, The Maguire Company prepares readable and understandable research reports, proposed project plans, internal and external policy papers and synopses that serve as support for policy development and facilitate effective decision making.

Strategic Decision Making

Effective decisions are often more dependent on the proper identification of the problem(s) than on identifying the available solutions. By facilitating an orderly review of all the factors impacting given situations, the strategic analysis of alternative approaches and the development of long-term business strategies, The Maguire Company can help organizations arrive at the right decisions at the right time.

Project Management

Complex, multifaceted projects require comprehensive planning and coordination to assure success. The personnel of The Maguire Company have successfully managed complex projects involving internal staff, external professionals and consultants and temporary personnel over extended periods of times and long distances.

Quantitative Analysis

Effective quantitative analysis involves the transformation of data into information. By understanding both the needs of the information users as well as the tools available to perform the analysis, we have developed working computer models and reports that permit the effective analysis of a variety of quantitative issues, including historical, hypothetical and forecast scenarios.

Financial Analysis

With a unique blend of public sector and private sector experience, the personnel of The Maguire Company evaluate both generalized concepts and specific proposals with respect to financial considerations such as cost/benefit comparisons, cash flow considerations, present and future value computations and other financial criteria as well as the conformance of such proposals to the existing legal, policy and regulatory requirements.
