Sedgwick Strategies is a firm dedicated to assisting major projects to achieve success. In today’s politically charged environment almost every major project, from mining to transmission lines, is contentious. Modern companies need the tools necessary to de-risk their projects across diverse stakeholder groups. We are committed to getting worthwhile projects in the industrial, natural resource and infrastructure sectors to “YES.” Unfortunately, in British Columbia the list of unsuccessful projects is very long. Pipelines, mines, transmission lines and even public infrastructure projects have foundered as a result of the inability to the project to address “soft issue risk” or as some describe it, issues around social license.
