Overview

The economic development industry is changing rapidly with many leaders of EDO’s retiring or have left for other opportunities or due to fatigue or from being "burned out". Boards of Directors today have increased the pressure and expectations for better results. With this increased pressure, groups cannot afford to chase prospects by changing their tactics to more focused efforts and strategic marketing.

No longer can groups afford to simply chase prospects. You must successfully convince prospects to locate in your area. Business as usual is no longer acceptable.

Rather, what is expected is accurate, pinpoint marketing yielding new investment and sustainable targeted jobs and regular success but many EDO's need assistance in understanding and obtaining this new level of proficiency.

The Vercitas Group of consultants formed to meet this need. By combining hundreds of years of experience, invaluable industry expertise, project experience and worldwide contacts these project veterans will assist any selected EDO groups achieve measurable results.
