Professional Services

Expert support for legislative, policy and institutional work.

TLC works with legislatures, governments, public institutions, development programmes, civil society, professional bodies and private-sector organisations to solve complex policy, legislative, governance and public-affairs challenges.

Service Architecture

Three practices, organised around the decision at hand.

Research establishes the evidence. Advisory applies specialist judgement. Consulting supports implementation and institutional delivery. One assignment may sit within one practice or move across all three.

Working With TLC

How TLC Works

A defined assignment moves from diagnosis and scope through delivery, validation and implementation support.

  1. Diagnose

    Clarify the problem, institutional context and required result.

  2. Scope

    Agree the workstream, outputs, responsibilities and timeline.

  3. Deliver

    Undertake the advisory, research, consulting or engagement work.

  4. Review

    Validate findings and outputs with the client and relevant stakeholders.

  5. Implement

    Support adoption, handover and follow-through where required.

Engagement Models

Ways to structure the work.

The model follows the problem: a defined assignment, continuing specialist access, a multi-stage programme or embedded support within an existing institutional workflow.

Fixed Assignment

Defined scope, outputs, milestones and completion date.

Retainer

Continuing access to TLC expertise for recurring needs.

Institutional Programme

Multi-stage programme combining analysis, technical support, tools and institutional follow-through.

Embedded Support

TLC expertise integrated into an ongoing programme, secretariat or institutional workflow.
