An Innovative Product Mix

We view our three offerings as more of a trinity than a trio. That is, we integrate aspects of the three in exactly the right way to help you achieve your goal or execute your vision. This approach is distinct in the marketplace.

Few, if any, firms can match the depth of expertise in these three areas—economic development/public policy services, communication strategies and location analysis/incentive negotiation services—that Boyette Strategic Advisors has.

Economic Development/Public Policy Services

Boyette Strategic Advisors’ experience involves working with state, regional and local economic development groups on various issues and comprehensive economic development strategies. Our primary services for economic development organizations include:

  • Economic development policy recommendations: We provide policy recommendations at the state and local level that address specific community or regional needs.
  • Economic development event identification: We identify potential marketing events that will allow your organization to most effectively pursue your state or community’s goals whether it involves pursuing a certain targeted industry or specific company target.
  • Incentive analysis and comparisons: Through experience and research, we can perform a competitive analysis of your state’s and community’s tax structure and incentive programs compared to other competitive jurisdictions.
  • Incentive policy development: We assess the existing incentives environment in your state or community and work with you to develop a customized incentives policy that will allow your organization to be most competitive in meeting future prospect needs.
  • Workforce analysis: We work with organizations to provide analysis of the quantity and quality of the area labor force. Our workforce analysis approach ensures an understanding of the skills sets of the existing workforce, particularly as they relate to potential industry categories that are targeted by the area.
  • Organizational assessment: We will gather information on the existing economic development organizational structure through stakeholder interviews and other means and make recommendations on changes that need to be made. Baseline research on other successful organizational structures in other cities, regions or states may be a part of this assessment.
  • Strategic planning: Our experience involves working with state, regional and local economic development groups on comprehensive economic development strategies. The strategic planning process may involve a community assessment; appreciative inquiry; stakeholder interviews; group discussions; cluster analysis; targeted industry identification; a communications strategy; and recommendations around capital funding requirements; economic development efforts; entrepreneurship; infrastructure; organizational structure; quality of life; technology; workforce development and education; and other relevant areas. In adition, Boyette Strategic Advisors develops implementation plans for recommendations and performance metrics to determine the success of the recommendations.
  • Targeted industry analysis: We work with state, regional and local economic development organizations to identify targeted industry sectors through general information gathering, research and stakeholder interviews. The deliverable typically includes a research summary providing an in-depth overview of each recommended industry sector, including the rationale for selection, and may include a sales-oriented targeted industry profile for each of the selected industry sectors.
