ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Excellence in economic development is all about shaping the future. It requires inspiring community leadership around a shared vision of prosperity that reflects local values, needs and opportunities. To be successful, economic development requires that someone in the community is given the mission and mandate to lead. It is these local leaders - EDOs, CAOs, Mayors, and Executive Directors - that we serve, by giving them the professional firepower they need to develop and implement strategies that ignite opportunities.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIC PLANNING
Organizations are a tapestry of individual personalities, each contributing to the success of the whole. Healthy organizations have strategic plans that unite the individuals into a powerful force for positive change. To achieve excellence, strategic planning requires deeply engaging the people at the heart of the organization and its mission to build a shared vision and crystal clear pathway to success.
