Economic development - Workshops and training formats

Knowledge transfer and consensus: Structured formats for shared priorities

Workshops are a central tool for sharing knowledge, improving internal coordination, and building shared priorities within economic development organizations. PM&P delivers structured, data-driven, and practice-oriented workshops for cities, municipalities, regions, and federal states.

PM&P designs workshops tailored to the specific tasks, challenges, and strategic questions of economic development organizations. Topics can include site analyses, industry developments, target-group strategies, organizational development, business retention concepts, international investment promotion, or digital location marketing.

These workshops combine presentations, interactive elements, group exercises, and clearly defined output formats.

Regional stakeholders such as companies, chambers, universities, administration, and policymakers may be included to ensure a broad understanding of expectations, perspectives, and needs. Workshops can also be supplemented with online surveys or pre-event questionnaires to precisely align the content with regional requirements.

All results are recorded in a structured format and can be directly integrated into strategies, internal planning processes, or operational implementation.
