At Interthoughts, we use two formulation methodologies:
- Effective formulation means that the policy we proposed is regarded as a valid, efficient, and implementable solution to the issue at hand. Our Policy analysts help in identifying effective, and easy to implement policies. This is the analytical phase of policy formulation.
- Acceptable formulation means that we propose cause of action that is likely to be authorized by the legitimate decision makers, usually through in a bargaining process. That is, it must be majority-building politically feasible. This is the political phase of policy formulation.
