The Importance of Regulatory Intelligence
Regulatory Intelligence allows us as regulatory professionals to cater to the needs and requirements of our clients by:
- Answering strategic regulatory questions
- Achieving Regulatory Compliance and helping to maintain this
- Offering Advice and Guidance in Regulatory Affairs and providing an end to end service
There are many ways to define regulatory intelligence, but we can break it down into a few key areas:
- Data Gathering by focussed regulatory surveillance
- Understand our client’s business objectives
- Information Analysis
- Regulatory Strategy
Data Gathering by focussed regulatory surveillance
Data Gathering is a great way of providing us and as such also our clients with Regulatory Foresight on a local or global scale. Our team can ensure that our clients and ourselves have fully aligned business objectives through the Regulatory Intelligence approach.
We do this by gathering data and educating ourselves via the following:
- Regulatory Information on Authority Websites, Regulatory Websites and relevant Blogs
- Professional Newsletters and update bulletins
- Regular attendance at Regulatory Conferences in person or lately virtually
- Seminars and Training Sessions
- Literature
- Regulatory E-mails
- Professional Networking via Social Media sites such as LinkedIn
- Knowledge sharing with colleagues
- Guidance Documents
Understand our client’s business objectives
Understanding the commercial and long-term strategies of our clients allows us to position a regulatory strategy that will provide the best possible opportunity for regulatory influences to have minimal impact. A key aspect of understanding the business objectives is to engage regularly with critical stakeholders within and external to our clients. Attendance at International Regulatory/Technical Meetings is an example of this from which we would align our advice to the clients business needs.
Information analysis
After the Data Gathering phase, we need to analyse how we can use and process this vast array of information to better suit our clients, and to also stay ahead of the regulatory curve. By analysing the information, we can check for trends and patterns emerging in different regulatory areas and be able to offer this feedback to our clients if relevant to them. In order for Regulatory Intelligence to be a successful tool it is necessary to keep up with changes in regulations and guidance through the various channels that our team of expert consultants are more than familiar with and can pass this expertise on to our clients.
Regulatory Strategy
The strategy is the output of the aforementioned steps. The principal objective is to help our clients achieve a competitive advantage by staying current with and ahead of global regulatory trends and to have in place creative ideas to resolve regulatory hurdles.
