Ted O'Brien & Associates helps domestic and international clients get the most out of government, business and community.\\Despite often sharing a common view and complementary interests, these three sectors can get lost in frustration and complexity when dealing with each other.\\It often seems like government doesn't understand business, business doesn't understand government and neither understand the full potential of community.\\It's not unusual to hear of a company taking an innovative proposition to government only to give up because it's all too hard, an approval takes too long or they fear giving away intellectual property for nothing more than participation in a public tender.\\Likewise, community groups struggle to get on the radar of either government or business despite the fact that they are helping resolve major social issues while running on limited funds and the generosity of volunteers.\\Meanwhile, political leaders are looking for new and affordable ways to deliver services to the public but need to be convinced about the reliability and competence of the service provider.\\Government, business and community operate largely in isolation from one another and this has to change. Good leaders already know this and so the task is to show them how. This is why Ted O'Brien & Associates exists - to help leaders be more innovative and find new ways of working together.\\Ted O'Brien & Associates offers deep expertise in three areas – Strategy, Advocacy and Deals. In doing so, we help governments, businesses and community groups cut through complexities and work together to get things done.
