We wrote yesterday about U.S.- China diplomacy and trade in the presidential campaign, based on presumptive Democratic nominee former Vice President Joe Biden’s latest policy outline. He’s also fleshing out his position on other matters – including climate issues. This plan comes out of a “unity task force” which is typical after a long party primary to smooth hard feelings from the primary fight and to appeal to voters who backed other candidates with different policy agendas.

Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
