To many in the private sector, government is an enigma. To many in the public sector, it is a struggle to find private-sector consultants who understand how government works. Tim Porter and Jordan O'Brien both worked their way from the junior ranks of the civil service to the deputy minister level and book-ended that experience with work in the private sector. This webinar explains the structure and decision-making process of government, as well as the role of lobbyists in influencing government decisions.
