We understand the factors that affect regional and local economies. Through our experience in this area and using an evidence-based approach, we identify the competitive advantages that underpin economic growth and improve community wellbeing.

We employ a range of methodologies to ensure our recommendations are innovative, practical and implementable. Our approach includes analysis of key economic and demographic trends, engagement with business, industry and community, understanding the policy context, data forecasting, scenario testing and spatial analysis.

Our work is used to inform economic development strategies and plans, facilitate business growth and investment attraction, stimulate population growth, increase visitation and yield, grow and diversify local economies, grow employment, encourage industry clustering and improve supply chains.

We also developed Monitor CRMS, a targeted software tool for economic development units of Councils and regional economic development organisations, which is designed to identify, analyse, monitor and engage with the business sector.
