SPC Network has developed a range of services designed to support the needs of our clients:

• Strategic counsel: Standing back from the day-to-day challenges of business operation to gain a strategic perspective on how public policy might affect the business is a key challenge. SPC Network supports clients by bringing in objective, analytical yet fresh thinking to help you see the wood for the trees. As internal resources are more and more stretched, so strategic counselling is more and more important to gaining new ideas.

• Policy impact analysis: In a forward looking way, policy impact analysis assesses how public policy and regulation may affect your business. Policy impact analysis also examines how policy initiatives have historically affected the market : whether they had the desired effects and delivered the benefits at the expected costs.

• Policy positioning papers: SPC Network brings its analytical skills to a key task of public policy departments: producing positioning papers to help influence policy debates. We understand that for a paper to be influential it must be robustly argued with rigorous supporting analysis.

• Regulatory risk assessment: Returns on new investments are at risk from regulatory actions which can change the profit potential   SPC Network analyses the components of risk, country-by-country- to help identify the probability of an adverse regulatory decision being taken and its potential effect on your business.

• Response document drafting: National regulatory authorities' public consultation process es often require companies to produce response documents. SPC Network can both support internal drafting of documents or take the process over completely , if resources are limited.

• Complaint support: SPC Network provides the economic analysis skills to produce robust evidence behind competition case complaints.

• Econometric modelling: SPC Network can produce econometric models to assess, for example, price elasticity of demand and the relationship between investment and regulation.

• Economic environment analysis: Understanding the economic climate is crucial to business strategy development. SPC Network undertakes this analysis, but also goes further. For example, we examine how different scenarios may develop with changes in the economic climate or in industry structure.

See the Case Studies page for just some example of how we've worked in clients in these key areas.
