PHASE 1: AUDIT & ENRICHMENT:

Study and update, as needed, the existing party systems and databases within the Constituency.

PHASE 2: INSTITUTION-BUILDING MEASURES:

In order to develop sustained and committed constituency level party, the firm advocates the central leadership of the client-party should incorporate the following.

(a). Party Training Center & Headquarters Ops- Room: A permanent hub for professional excellence at Party HQ will be setup where the Sovereignty Principle and Benchmarking are taught to constituency leaders.  

(b). Constituency Training Center and Ops- Room: It functions as a constituency level Training Center, Control Room and a Communication Channel to HQ Ops-Room.

(c). The 3-Member Referee Panel:  An expert panel comprising of winning party veterans   nominated by the central party leadership will be convened to judge the performance of the leaders undergone the OJT and Mock Play. This helps the Central Leadership to field right leaders to right constituencies in elections.

PHASE 3: THE BOOTCAMP: High-intensity foundational training for the core team.

PHASE 4: SIMULATED OJT (THE MOCK PLAY OF ELECTIONS):

Teams divided into Red, Blue, and Green. Role rotation to understand rival mindsets. Focus on Tactical Intelligence and Counter-Measures.

FINAL WORDS

 

Zeta Leadership recommends its prospective client-parties that:

  • The central leadership (the decision-making body) of the client-political party needs carryout a comprehensive study of the entire spectrum of the blended model of the strategic consultancy presented here.
  • Make an estimate of cost factor, keeping in view the cost of losing a well-contested  election based upon their own past experiences.

  • In order to optimize the costs and use of resources, the firm arrived at minimum 15% of the Assembly / Parliament seats to be contested by a party.
  • A serious political party should contest in at least 90% of the constituencies. In case of “an alliance or a front”, a serious party should contest in 30% of the seats.
