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.

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
Are these programmes suitable for board members?
They are designed for them. The governance curriculum addresses the duties directors personally carry — risk-committee oversight, ESG accountability, the questions to put to management. Participants leave able to interrogate a board pack, structure committee work, and document the oversight a regulator expects to see.
What makes the strategy programmes different from conventional corporate training?
Faculty are senior practitioners who have carried the decisions themselves — never career presenters. Strategy is worked as decisions with owners and consequences, not frameworks on slides: participants build positions on their own institution’s questions and defend them in front of the room.
Where can I find the programme fee?
BIZENIUS does not publish a rate card. Request the brochure or apply for a seat, and a senior practitioner replies within one business day with the brochure and a fee shaped to your format, location and any tailoring.
What formats do governance programmes run in?
Classroom, live virtual and hybrid, in English and French. Boards frequently commission private in-house sessions, tailored to their own charter, committee structure and regulatory context.
