Legislation and stakeholder context sat in different systems.
The Institutional Relations team at a Brazilian power company was tracking more than 20 legislative projects and provisional measures. It also managed relationships with around 400 regulators, legislators, public authorities and other stakeholders.
The bills, consultancy assessments, stakeholder records, engagement histories and media coverage sat across separate tools. The Risk team had a related problem. It had been asked to build a structured view of external factors that could affect the company, but had no consistent way to monitor them.
One data model connected legislation, stakeholders and risk.
TSC configured each active legislative file as a monitored project in Genie. Stakeholders, positions, news coverage and the client's existing risk classifications were connected to the same record. The team could see who was involved in a measure, how the debate was developing and where engagement was limited.
Network maps added the relationships around federal and state decision-makers. Engagement records then preserved what the company had done with that intelligence.
This gave Institutional Relations and Risk a shared external picture and a way to align their work. The Risk team used the shared environment to follow regulatory change, energy markets, data-centre expansion, environmental licensing, auctions, competitors, suppliers and extreme weather. Genie organised and summarised incoming material against the company's own risk matrix. Dashboards and a recurring newsletter carried the findings into the team's workflow.
Institutional Relations could combine bill tracking, stakeholder mapping and engagement reporting. Risk could monitor external factors against a familiar internal structure. Each function retained its own workflow while working from the same evidence.
The link between legislation, stakeholders, media signals, engagement history and the company’s risk taxonomy became a working foundation for both functions. It could be reused as a bill changed, a stakeholder moved or a new external risk emerged.
