Economic Development Strategies:
|
18 years serving as an advisor on some of the most significant corporate location decisions has provided us with unique insights into how companies select communities in which to expand, and our economic development strategies are based on aligning your efforts with how these decisions are actually made.
Maximizing success is highly dependent on ensuring that your community’s true competitive positioning relative to others is understood accurately and objectively. We apply the same sophisticated analytical methodologies we use in our corporate location strategy projects to ensure you have access to the exact type of in-depth understanding that companies considering your community do. We do this within a context of unparalleled access to first-hand knowledge of how location decisions are actually being made, and what competitive advantages best align with key decision variables and the major trends that are impacting decisions. Our approach provides the guidance you need to help you identify the types of projects, sectors/industries, and size of projects your community should most aggressively targets, as well as how to best present yourself and ‘message’ to decision makers on projects for which you are competing. The fact-based and data-driven methodologies we utilize are critical to ensuring that limited resources are best applied to where they will have the greatest impact, and to ensure that your community has the highest possible chance of attracting investment and expanding employment. |
