Political intelligence and opinion analysis

About

Understand the power structures and governance of the countries or local authorities in which the company operates, analyse and anticipate regulatory changes, and understand shifts in public opinion and the forces driving them.

In an increasingly fragmented society marked by growing mistrust of institutions, understanding the political environment and public opinion are becoming essential tools for decision-making, whether in the public or private sector.

Political intelligence

Political intelligence can be understood as the crossroads of expertise at the intersection of economic intelligence and public affairs. Investigating an administrative or political position, whether that of an individual, small group or large movement, requires methodical and rigorous preparation. It involves carefully targeting the relevant sources of information and topics in order to provide as many relevant tools as possible for deciphering a normative trend. With 30 years of experience, extensive networks, sources and analysts, ESL is able to support your decisions with accurate and forward-looking insights into upcoming political and regulatory developments.

Opinion analysis

Opinion structuring analysis is therefore an additional tool for understanding, complementing the political intelligence solutions offered by ESL to help economic players anticipate and manage uncertainty.

Beyond its role of providing insight, the production of surveys also represents a new dimension of soft power, enabling ADIT and its Influence Division to enjoy an unprecedented role with decision-makers, but also to contribute to shaping public debate on strategic issues.
