Strategy Consulting

Strategy goes beyond cookie-cutter methods at Chrisman Consulting. We offer custom solutions to meet the unique needs of your organization and region. Some examples include feasibility studies, a fresh approach to talent strategies, and the identification of new incentive policies that factor in trends such as productivity based on automation.

Diagnose & Measure

You can’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you are now. The first step is determining the baseline of where your economy is now, and how you will track its progress going forward. Economic dashboards, impact analysis, trend analysis, pulse surveys-these are tools to help your community stay ahead of the curve.

Businesses

Business retention, expansion, and recruitment are the “holy trio” of business development. We help you identify or reprioritize target industries to adjust for economic trends and disruptions, as well as assist your existing companies in pivoting to new products and/or markets. This can include market research and target industry analysis.

Talent Solutions

Talent retention, development, and recruitment are now equal in weight to business development for most communities. We can help your community determine what talent segments you will focus on and what programs you will use for retaining, retraining, and recruiting talent.

Blueprint

Ultimately it comes down to having a plan. Chrisman Consulting can help educate your stakeholders and elected officials on the principles of economic development. We can evaluate your community, identify key issues, and develop an immediate-term plan of action. Finally, we can lead your community through the process of creating a full ED Strategic Plan.
