Efficient economic development organizations require clear structures, well‑defined responsibilities, and transparent processes. PM&P supports cities, municipalities, regions, and federal states with organizational audits, restructuring processes, and the establishment of entirely new economic development agencies.
PM&P begins by analyzing the existing tasks, structures, processes, resources, and responsibilities of the economic development organization. The evaluation also examines how the EDO is positioned compared to organizations in similar cities or regions.
A core component is the involvement of regional stakeholders — companies, chambers, associations, universities, administration, and policymakers — through structured interviews, workshops, and online surveys. Their feedback shows how the EDO is perceived internally and externally and which expectations and gaps exist.
For reorganizations or the establishment of new EDOs, PM&P develops clear task profiles, priorities, operating models, and structural frameworks. This includes responsibilities, role descriptions, governance structures, interfaces with politics and administration, and the operational design of daily work. Recommendations are based on decades of experience and international best‑practice models.
