Economic Development Consulting
ED Solutions, Inc. focuses our consulting services around a few key areas, namely, technology applications, state economic development association strategies and utility economic development strategies.
Technology Applications-
Whether its web site reviews, web site design or redesign support (check out our portfolio page!) or the use of technology in the economic development office, e.g., site and building databases, contact management systems and the like, ED Solutions, Inc. brings a practitioner's focus and current knowledge of the latest trends and systems to this consulting area.
State Economic Development Association Strategies-
ED Solutions, Inc. has been engaged to provide clear, concise and program-of-work oriented strategy development to four state ED associations over the last 2 years. Utilizing a retreat format with board members and key stakeholders, the process yields an actionable series of work elements with timelines, resources outlined, responsibilities assigned and measures identified. This process works great with local and regional ED organizations as well!
Utility Economic Development Organizational Strategies-
Having spent 17 years with a utility and having worked across the US and Canada, ED Solutions, Inc. understands the needs, roles, internal and external attitudes and often multi-purpose nature of utility based economic development. We have helped several organizations think through their role, what resources can be applied and how to measure their program's effectiveness.
Our focus on consulting is the cost effective delivery of quality solutions.
