Local government planners, regional planners, professional
advisors and business owners all need specific industry data to enable them
to make sound strategic decisions. It may be to track the performance of strategically
important industries and the development of industry clusters, or to assess
the competitive situation and the relative performance of individual businesses.
Determining the Nature and Performance
of Key Industries and Businesses in
an Industry Context
A regular review of key industries helps planners to
identify critical infrastructure requirements and support needs to ensure
present and future economic development
at a local government level. It also provides an opportunity for planners to
monitor the effectiveness and uptake of existing grant, training and other
support programs and to adjust those programs to more effectively meet the
needs of local business operators. Our landmark studies into the nature and
performance of SME’s have enabled regional planners to formulate a series
of programs to improve performance in the sector. Core research programs include:
- Industry cluster analysis
- Tracking Industry growth and innovation trends
- Industry Value Chain analysis
- Emerging industries analysis
