Case Studies

Losing your mother is one of life’s most profoundly hard experiences, with impacts extending well beyond emotional grief. Motherless Daughters Australia (MDA), the leading organisation supporting women who have lost their mothers, commissioned PPG to measure the economic impact of mother loss, including the significant financial, employment, and educational burdens.

What do the World Rally Championship, Vintage Bentleys and Toyota FT60 racing cars have ​in common? They all use carbon-neutral fuel produced by our client, Berlin-based P1 Fuels.

DoorDash commissioned PPG to research the economic impact of forcibly reclassifying ​independent app-based delivery workers in Minnesota to become traditional employees.

Advanced economies say they are on the pathway to net-zero emissions, but are they just outsourcing goods production and the associated emissions to poorer countries while importing the goods for the benefit of their consumers and businesses?

DoorDash commissioned PPG to research the impact on workers, consumers, small ​businesses and the economy if the Australian Government passed industrial ​relations changes that would implement new conditions of work for Australians ​who choose to earn income through on-demand rideshare and delivery platforms.

PPG was commissioned by Healius Limited to assess the economic sustainability of the ​Australian pathology industry and quantify any government investment needed to protect ​essential services and jobs.

What Our Clients Say

I'd recommend Pragmatic Policy Group to any company that ​wants to innovate fast while shaping a new regulatory landscape. Oliver helped Lyft develop smart regulation on everything from ​the Future of Work to Electric Vehicles. He helped us engage with policymakers and community groups ​to develop and pass new laws which protected the $61 billion ​rideshare industry and were strongly supported by 76% of ​rideshare and delivery drivers.

Co-Founder of Lyft and Vice Chair of the Lyft Board

Oliver's contributions to the national economy and community were nothing ​short of remarkable during his time advising the Australian Government. He delivered critical reforms to the $3.8 trillion banking system following the ​2008 financial crisis. Oliver's work has left a lasting legacy, securing a ​stronger and more prosperous future for the nation and its communities. Pragmatic Policy Group is a valuable thought partner for governments as ​they think through how to regulate the most innovative and disruptive ​industries in their economies
