Regions Charting New Directions: Metropolitan Business PlanningRWVentures
Delivered at the Winter meeting of the Mayor's Innovation Project, this presentation considers the questions that regions should answer in order to understand their unique opportunities for economic growth.
Boosting private investment for growth and competitiveness in Argentina. A view from the OECD
OECD EMnet Business Meeting on Latin America
Buenos Aires, 14 November 2017
"Originally developed as a two-day training for HUD Choice Neighborhood program grantees, this presentation was delivered to grantees from NeighborWorks America's Catalytic Grant Program. The training presents the rationale and structure of a new approach to comprehensive neighborhood economic development: ""neighborhood business planning."" After walking through the effects and implications of the transition to the knowledge economy, the presentation provides a framework for seeing neighborhoods as dynamic systems whose role in the economy is to develop and deploy assets (e.g., workers, businesses) into larger markets.
An overview of neighborhood types and their unique roles within regions follows, along with data on the typical trajectories of different neighborhood types. Sections on each of five market levers (human capital, clusters, innovation and entrepreneurship, urban growth form and governance) show how the development of neighborhood goals, market analysis, strategies and initiatives can create neighborhoods of opportunity in connection with their region. Local-facing issues like housing, retail and other amenities are examined in relation to their effect on creating neighborhoods of choice that certain populations are attracted to, influencing a neighborhood's type and trajectory. The presentation concludes with an overview of the most comprehensive application of neighborhood business planning to-date: the Greater Chatham Initiative."
The South Bend presentation was delivered at the first ever South Bend Economic Summit, co-hosted by the Mayor of South Bend, and the heads of the Chamber of Commerce of St. Joseph County and the Corporate Partnership for Economic Growth.
Economic Place-making: How to Develop a "Neighborhood Business Plan"RWVentures
Developed as part of a two-day training for planning and implementation grantees from HUD's Choice Neighborhoods program, this presentation walks through the logic and structure of a new approach to comprehensive neighborhood economic development: "neighborhood business planning." It begins by describing the changes taking place in the knowledge economy, which present opportunities for metropolitan areas and especially urban neighborhoods, and suggest a new approach: neighborhood business planning. The presentation then offers a framework for understanding neighborhoods as dynamic systems whose economic function is to develop and deploy their assets into larger markets.

Retail in Context: Observations from ColumbusRWVentures
Delivered by RW Ventures, Chicago TREND and the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, this pair of training sessions were designed to help communities pursuing retail, industrial land use, small business or other economic development projects think more strategically about how those efforts can align with and leverage other local development activities. The morning session used a case study from Columbus to illustrate how the viability of a retail project can be informed and enhanced by interrelated strategies to revitalize the surrounding neighborhood. The afternoon session used an industrial land redevelopment case study from Atlanta to explore how to connect regional industrial opportunities to neighborhood assets and development - sometimes referred to as "economic place-making."
The small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) sector has been identified as a critical sector for
the various roles it plays in the socio-economic development of an economy. Such roles include employment
generation, bedrock of entrepreneurial development, avenue for investment and innovation, poverty reduction
and economic growth. It is also a source of forward and backward linkages to multinational corporations
(MNCs) which will engender foreign direct investment and local technological development. In Nigeria, the
SMEs are faced with many challenges which include limited access to fund; lack of capacity of managers etc.
These have undermined the growth, development and sustainability of the sector. It is in order to ameliorate
these numerous challenges that government over the years have formulated and implemented several policies
to develop, encourage and sustain SME success in Nigeria. The study is aimed at drawing important lessons
from the success stories of German Mittlestand by importing, adopting or adapting their characteristics. The
Mittlestand was chosen as a benchmark because the sector is resilient and was able to weather economic storms
during the economic meltdown than many of their competitors. Important lessons that could be learnt by
Nigeria’s SMEs include amongst others, the importance of investing in human resources through the adoption
of Germany’s dual vocational system; production of high quality goods and services; investing in research and
development; provision of after sales services; having a sound business plan that consents to business
inheritance, etc. On the part of government, the lessons that could be learnt include: provision of critical
infrastructure; creating enabling environment for small businesses; passing and enforcing the local content bill
etc
Rhode Island innovates: A competitive strategy for the Ocean State
In the fall and winter of 2015–2016, the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings worked in association with Battelle Technology Partnership Practice (now TEConomy Partners, LLC) and Monitor Deloitte to advance a new competitive strategy for the state of Rhode Island.
This slideshow summary of the project’s final conclusions finds that Rhode Island possesses unique assets for building an advanced economy that works for all but stands weakened by the decline of its core “advanced industries.” Given that erosion, the slideshow asserts that five advanced industry and two “opportunity industry” growth areas hold out solid potential for growth in the Ocean State and recommends that Rhode Island should embark on a three-part strategy to strengthen its advanced industries and improve its statewide platform for growth.

This paper aims at shedding the light on the obstacles and challenges that hamper the performance and contribution of small and medium enterprises in Yemen and their contribution to the economic development. It is based on an in depth review of international organizations reports about Yemen and the development of the business sector, reports on the performance of small enterprises and business environment during the current condition. The challenges that face small businesses in Yemen are serious and they need years if not decades to be contained from hampering the business performance and the contribution to GDP. These challenges are grouped into two sets, the first set is concerned about the historical challenges that had been facing SMEs for long time, and the other set is concerned about the emerging challenges that came to affect the small business sector in recent year with the emergence of the violent conflict and political instability Mugaahed Abdu Kaid Saleh | Dr. Manjunath K.

Subsequent to a huge shift of economic growth and opportunities to emerging economies, particularly in Asia, managing and retaining key talent has become important for sustainable growth. Organizations are being forced to rethink their talent pipeline and transform their HR function to deal with new priorities and risks.
The impact of technology and the need for innovation continue to demand new skills in new places. A clear plan for global talent mobility alongside the development of strong local talent is vital. The paradigm shift has also brought new regulator y obligations, transformed our view of pay and incentives, and refocused our definition of employee engagement.

This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Sustainability has become an increasingly critical topic as the world recognizes the need to protect our planet and its resources for future generations. Sustainability means meeting our current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It involves long-term planning and consideration of the consequences of our actions. The goal is to create strategies that ensure the long-term viability of People, Planet, and Profit.
Leading companies such as Nike, Toyota, and Siemens are prioritizing sustainable innovation in their business models, setting an example for others to follow. In this Sustainability training presentation, you will learn key concepts, principles, and practices of sustainability applicable across industries. This training aims to create awareness and educate employees, senior executives, consultants, and other key stakeholders, including investors, policymakers, and supply chain partners, on the importance and implementation of sustainability.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

28. What have we learned in terms of good lessons?
There are no blue prints ….but the experience of OECD and non-OECD countries in
industrial policies shows that there are pitfalls
that should be avoided:
• Indiscriminate subsidies
• Never-ending support
• “Cathedrals in the desert”
• Preventing competition
• Closed-door bureaucracy-led prioritisation
• Capture by incumbents
• Low critical mass for investments
• Short-term horizon and annual budgeting
• Lack of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms
To demonstrate the shift of world income since the 2000s, our estimations applied and extended the “four-speed” world concept by former World Bank President James Wolfensohn. We distinguish affluent, converging, struggling and poor countries according to their income and rate of growth per capita relative to the OECD. For better visibility, we have combined the two groups of “poor” and “struggling” countries in this graph. These are the countries in light blue.The analysis showed that in the 1990s only 12 developing countries managed to double OECD per capita growth rates (these are the red converging countries” that you see in the map).
Now the same exercise for the decade of 2000 shows a radically different picture: In the 2000s, 83 developing countries managed to double OECD per capita growth rates (see the increase in red countries )
Aunque todavía favorable en comparación con el desempeño de décadas previas, un escenario global menos benigno resta impulso al crecimiento de América Latina por tres vías: a) volumen de comercio exterior, b) precios de materias primas c) la normalización en las condiciones financieras de acceso al crédito.
a) Comercio esterior:Un crecimiento global mas débil entraña una ralentización del comercio. ( El comercio global de bienes y servicios paso de crecer de tasas superiores al 7% en la década anterior a una expansión cercana al 4% en 2012, y no se espera que en los próximos años supere el 6%).b) Precios de la materia prima:La menor demanda global frena la expansión de los precios de las materias, sobre todo en América del Sur. Nos se esperan retrocesos mayores en los próximos dos años, tampoco se prevén alzas.
La ralentización del comercio y el freno a la expansión a los precios de las materias primas ha deteriorado el balance externo de los países de América Latina y reducido la contribución de la demanda externa al crecimiento. Todavia A pesar del deterioro reciente, el déficit agregado de cuenta corriente de América Latina de 1.6% del PIB en 2012 se mantiene en niveles relativamente manejables.
Esta tendencia podría revertirse frente ala gradual salida del estimulo monetario en las economías industrializadas, la desaceleración económica de las economías emergentes las expectativas mas positivas de las economías avanzadas.Un ejemplo fue el anuncio del 19 de Junio 2013, en el cual Ben Bernanke, insistió que la Reserva Federal estaría reduciendo el ritmo de compras de activos (QE3) hacia finales del 2013. Esto desato fuertes movimientos en los mercados de capitales, especialmente una salida importante de capitales de los mercados emergentes, incluyendo América Latina.
We have focused on 4:InnovationSkillsFinanceInfrastructure (stylized facts and policy responses)
In our report wehighlight 3 main impacts of the process of « ShiftingWealth » that are infulencing the changes in developmentpolicy and that are contributing to the re-birth of the « structural challenge » in the policydebate. First, highgrowth in developingeconomies has been accompanied by the creation of new « middle classes ».Our estimatessuggestthat by 2030, 80% of the world’s middle classes willbe living in developingeconomies. In addition, as the process of SW evolves, countries including Brazil, China and India are increasinglylookingatinternaldemand as an additional source of growth.This opens up new opportunites for industrialdevelopmentsincetheseconsumers have new aspiraitons and consumptionneedswhichneed to be met. Note on the definition: Middle classes are commonlydefined as those people living on between 10 and 100 US$ a day (in PPP terms).
Second, another impact of the evolution of SW are the changes in global trade and investment patterns.Especially the integration of China into global markets is opening up new learning opportunities in developing economies. China has started to generate substantial FDI that target not only OECD countries but also and in a growing manner developing economies. China is also becoming a major trade partner for developing countries. For example, in 2011, China accounted for 17% of total African imports, up from only 5% in 2000. However FDI is not automatically going to be translated into learning opportunities; much depends on strategic choices of recipient countries and development policy of emerging economies.This process is not only limited to China. For example, India and Brazil increased their share in total African trade from 2.3% and 1.7% respectively in 2000, to 7% and 3% in 2011.These new trade patterns open opportunities for learning. For example, Brazil is actively investing in Africa especially in knowledge sharing and technology transfer in agricultural production.
Third, SW is also translating on the “real economy” side. We are witnessing the emergence of a new geography of production. For example, the panorama of the top world manufacturers has radically changed over the last 2 decades.China is today the top world manufacturer. In 2010 China's share of total world manufacturing value added (18.9%) outperformed that of the United States (18.2%).In addition to China, also Brazil, India, the Russian Federation and Indonesia were among top 20 world manufacturers in 2010.China, Brazil, India, Russian Fed. And Indonesia account all together for 28% of total world manufacturing vale added in 2010.The message is that we could be entering in a new development phase characterised by “multi-polarity” and hence multi-polar perspectives on development models and models of economt.
Average annual growth rate (1990-2010) = 4.78% Average annual inflation rate (2000-2010)= 3.35% [60% of budget dedicated to social sectors:]
Note:Cases accepted refer to labor dispute cases accepted by different levels of labor dispute arbitration institutionsOne of many ways in which rapid growth can disrupt the social order is via labour markets. The workplace is key in distributing the fruits of growth and that distribution has been increasingly against workers since the 1990s – the share of value added going to labour is on a decreasing trend in almost every region [flat in Eastern Europe]In China this process translated into an exponentially increasing number of labour disputes. The link with growth? This coincided with the end of surplus labour – the “Lewis turning point” . Before that, wages were kept low as new migrant labour could be found easily; after wages have to be bid up in manufacturing to attract workers, which resulted in wage increases throughout the economy, especially since 2005. However, this (as the data on disputes show) was not done without strife. [NB: The jump in 2008 corresponds to the enactment of the Labour Contract Law which gives migrant workers a much wider set of rights, including that of having labour contracts and therefore appealing to their fulfillment at arbitration courts.]Source: Cai and Wang (2011) on the basis of National Bureau of Statistics, China Labor Statistical Yearbook (various years), China Statistics Press.
However, all that glitter is not gold and SW also opens challenges for developing economies. In fact, when we look at the accumulation of capabilities to innovate, the capacity to create good employment and to have a vibrant production base…SW looks more like a process in progress rather than an accomplished fact.Developing economies face multiple structural challenges. What is interesting is that in the last decade they have started to implement policies to address them. =>Learning processIn our report we have focused on four main interrelated challenges.The innovation gap that still persist between developing economies and OECD countries. Whereas OECD countries on average invested 2.3% of their GDP in research and development (R&D) in 2009, China invested only 1.5% of its GDP, and manydeveloping countries, including Brazil, the Russian Federation and India, invested less than 1% of GDP.We know that scientific and technological capabilities are essential for processes of catching up and increasing productivity and even though some developing economies are increasing their efforts in these domains they are still far from OECD standards. In addition, the private sector is the one that is more reluctant to invest in innovation in developing economies, contrary to OECD countries (as the graph shows).This gap exists because:Prevailing specialisation in sectors with low R&D intensityLow degree of diversificationCountry strategies that only recently have emphasised technological development.Developing economies are recognising these challenges and are putting in place policies to tackle them. The new industrial policies recognise the need to coordinate incentives for innovation with production transformation strategies. Countries are following different schemes. For example: Some are targeting resources to specific scientific and technological areas (new materials, biotechnology and clean energy vehicles; healthcare, etc.). This is the case in Brazil with the sectoral technology funds or South Africa with the specific funds for renewable energies. Others increasingly use pubic procurement for innovation (e.g. Brazil, China, India and South Africa) Attracting more knowledge-intensive FDI is a main priority in a number of developing countries (e.g. Brazil, Costa Rica, Malaysia, Morocco)Promoting start-ups is also becoming another new priority (e.g. Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico) So is promoting cluster development (e.g. Brazil, Chile, India, South Africa)
Improves (domestic and international) connectivity - Enhances efficiency in resource allocation Decreases the cost of doing business- Spurs growth
- Current productive structure in LAC with exports concentrated in natural resources, apparel, and agricultural products makes logistics particularly important for competitiveness.
Greater regional integration (regional corridors included), GVC insertion and domestic competitiveness depend more on improving logistics and decreasing costs than decreasing tariffs.
To address these structural challenges and sustain growth, some developing economies are implementing production transformation strategies. Their industrial policies exhibit some common trends, and some differences. Industrial policies come in different scopes and shapes in different countries. We have identified 4 categories to describe them.1. Governance (to what extent regions and sub national governments play a role in industrial policy planning, budget and execution? For example in India regions have a high margin of manoeuvre. In Brazil and China this is intermediary while it is low in South Africa and Chile.2. Priorities: We see that in addition to traditional priorities (job creation, growth, international competitiveness) developing countries are increasingly concerned about the territorial inclusion, social cohesion and sustainable development. This widens the scope of industrial policies.3. Objectives: We have observed that countries often have to target multiple objectives: diversification, specialisation and the increase in the density of the production system. This means that industrial policies are more articulated today than in the past.4. Policy mix: In addition to industrial policy tools strictusensuindustrial policies include a set of actions in different policy fields including trade, innovation, skills and infrastructure, but also macroeconomic policies.Brazil has been a pioneer in industrial policy in Latin America: Ithas re-launched industrial policy since 2003. Brazil offers interesting examples for the articulation between the Ministry of Industry, the National Development Bank and the Ministry for Science and Innovation. Industrial policy in Brazil has pushed for institutional innovations, for example the ABDI Agency for Industrial Development (of which we have the president here today with us) has been created in 2003 to follow up the implementation of the policy and the BNDES has introduced new mechanisms to finance innovative projects. In South Africathe New Industrial Policy Framework promotes diversification and creation of activities in sectors beyond the mining cluster.The industrial policy involves a growingrole for the national development bank (Industrial Development Corporation, IDC), which manages funds for innovation, and it targets renewable energies among its priorities. In Morocco the strategy is based on two pillars: i) supporting the existing local industrial structure; and ii) creating incentives for entry into new sectors in which Morocco could develop competitive advantages. It includes investment for creating infrastructure and platforms for industrial development as well as targeted initiatives for skills upgrading. The priority sectors include automotive, aeronautics, agribusiness, off-shoring and textile. Morocco aims to use FDI as a lever to foster production upgrading. SEZs are planned in regions to make the establishment and operations of foreign investors easier. The country is also actively engaged in identifying mechanisms to clarify skills requirements and put in place short and medium-term actions to bridge the skills gap. Malaysiais an interesting case for its strategic management of FDI and the growing attention towards monitoring and evaluation.
Notes: Indiscriminate subsidies. Granting subsidies without conditionalities increases the risk of adverse selection of beneficiaries and the development of assistance-dependent behaviour among firms that are often not translated into productivity improvements. Never-ending support. The absence of sunset clauses in support programmes to companies discourages the necessary efforts to increase their productivity. “Cathedrals in the desert”. Building factories or research laboratories in remote locations works only when this is part of a broader plan for creating backward and forward linkages, and when it is matched with programmes to foster local infrastructure development. Preventing competition. While the creation of new activities and industries may require support in early stages (the traditional “infant industry” argument), gradual exposure to internal and external competition can ensure that these activities grow in a productive way. Closed-door bureaucracy-led prioritisation limits the possibility of generating the information flows and the trust that are essential to get the private-sector commitment to invest in innovation and production development. Capture by incumbents. Consultations with the private sector often end up being led by incumbents, while innovation and production diversification also depend on the creation and expansion of new firms. Targeted mechanisms to foster the creation of start-ups are needed to avoid the risks of policies that will only help to maintain the status quo instead of fostering a dynamic change. Low critical mass for investments limits the effectiveness of industrial development plans. In addition, if the government contribution is too small, it will not be able to mobilise the matching funds from the private sector. Short-term horizon and annual budgeting. The creation and strengthening of domestic scientific, technological and production capabilities take time, so industrial policies with short-term horizons and based on annual budgets tend not to be credible. Multi-annual plans and budgets are necessary to mobilise actions and achieve results, but this also requires effective mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation to correct implementation failures. Lack of monitoring and evaluation mechanisms limits the capacity to generate feedback between policy design and implementation and reduces the effectiveness of policies that evolve through trial and error. In addition, the lack of evaluation limits the possibility of regularly revising the policy to reduce the risks of capture and adverse selection.
