GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS | ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Government Affairs.
Economic Development.
Strategy That Moves Projects Forward.
The Fideo Group helps businesses, healthcare organizations, developers, communities, and industry leaders navigate government, advance policy priorities, and move complex opportunities from strategy to execution.
WHO WE ARE
We Work Where Business and Government Meet.
Important projects rarely depend on a single decision.
They require an understanding of policy, relationships with the right stakeholders, a clear picture of the economics, and a strategy for navigating government from beginning to end.
The Fideo Group brings those pieces together.
We help clients understand the landscape, identify the people and decisions that matter, build support, and execute a strategy designed around the outcome they are trying to achieve.
WHAT WE DO
Two Practices. One Approach.
GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
Navigate Government. Build Support. Advance Your Priorities.
Fideo provides strategic government affairs representation for organizations facing legislative, regulatory and public-sector opportunities and challenges.
Our work includes state and federal government affairs, legislative and regulatory strategy, coalition development, stakeholder engagement, policy research, issue campaigns and long-term government relations.
We do more than put a client in the right room. We work to ensure the client enters that room with the right issue, the right facts and a clear strategy for what comes next.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
From Opportunity to Execution.
Economic development projects require coordination across companies, developers, government, utilities, communities and capital.
Fideo helps clients navigate that process.
We work on project strategy, government engagement, incentives, infrastructure and utility coordination, stakeholder relationships, site-related challenges, and the public-private work required to turn a promising opportunity into an executable project.
FEATURED EXPERIENCE
Healthcare Policy With Real Financial Stakes.
Healthcare policy can have millions of dollars of consequences long before most people ever hear about the rule involved.
Fideo works with hospitals and healthcare organizations on complex reimbursement and policy issues, with a particular focus on translating technical federal policy into measurable financial impact and an organized advocacy strategy.
Our Medicare wage-index work illustrates that approach. Fideo has helped organize hospitals and health systems around reform of Medicare geographic wage-index policies by combining hospital-level financial analysis, coalition development, federal advocacy and state-level engagement around a clearly defined policy objective.
THE FIDEO PROCESS
Understand the Issue. Quantify the Stakes. Align the Right People. Execute.
01 →
Understand
We begin with the policy, business or project problem itself—not simply the politics surrounding it.
02 →
Quantify
Whenever possible, we determine what the issue actually means financially for the client and the broader affected market.
03 →
Align
We identify the organizations, government officials and stakeholders whose participation matters.
04
Execute
We build a strategy and remain involved through meetings, rulemaking, legislation, negotiations and implementation.
