Policy Analysis & Regulatory Impact Assessment
Every regulation is an experiment run on the public — impact assessment is the discipline of predicting the result before the experiment starts.

Rules multiply faster than the capacity to think them through, and the cost lands on citizens and firms. This programme trains the thinking-through: problem definition that resists jumping to the favourite instrument; option analysis including the option of doing nothing; regulatory impact assessment with costs and benefits estimated honestly at the precision the data allows; consultation run to learn, not to perform; and the closing loop most governments skip — monitoring whether the rule worked, and retiring it when it did not. For officials who draft, assess or oversee regulation.
What you will do

Programme agenda
Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for
I.The problem, defined
- Evidence of harm: size, cause, who bears it
- The intervention logic: how exactly would a rule change behaviour
- The favourite-instrument trap — and how analysis resists it
II.The assessment
- Options: regulate, incentivise, inform, do nothing — compared fairly
- Costs and benefits estimated honestly, uncertainty declared
- Distribution: who pays, who gains — said out loud
III.The rule in the world
- Consultation that changes the draft, with the changes shown
- Implementation and compliance burden designed down
- Review clauses used: monitoring, evaluation, retirement
Frequently asked
Who is regulatory impact assessment training for?
It is designed for policy and legal drafting teams in ministries, regulator staff who write rules, cabinet office and better-regulation units, and the economists and analysts who support policy. The common thread is officials who draft, assess or oversee regulation.
What method does the programme train?
The full discipline of thinking a rule through: problem definition that resists jumping to the favourite instrument; option analysis including the option of doing nothing; costs and benefits estimated honestly at the precision the data allows; consultation run to learn; and monitoring that retires rules that failed. The course is professional training, not legal advice.
Can the course be delivered in-house and in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your institution’s regulatory practice and pipeline. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
