El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
Raising level of black economics changing the paradigm
1. ABL Changing the Paradigm about
Black Business
Introducing

(CEVA (M) )

2. “Any group that does not have an
economic structure is heading for
trouble. The groups that hold the
most control over their financial,
human capital and markets will be
the most competitive groups.”
Washington Post, May 25, 1998
3. CEVA
(Community Economic Value Add)
The idea is that value (real or perceived) is
created when the return on the entire
community opportunity for stabilization and
growth is greater, through an active
recognized strategic approach, than the
negative impact of allowing our inner city
communities to lie fallow awaiting
government largess.
4. ABL Advocate for Building our own
Economic Base
Building a Black business economic base: • Doing business with other Black
•Our way of Paying our Economic Rent businesses who do the same
• Philanthropy and giving to Black
•Rent from Business and community owned and community located
support our ROI institutions
•Recognition of the Economic
contribution to the entire community Effort designed to GROW our Black and
Entire Community through:
•Community Leadership

• Serving as Sales/Collection Agents for • Civic & Social—leadership and
GA Lottery and other Statewide support for important community-
initiatives wide objectives
• Philanthropy --supporting the non-
profit community
5. Each Congress Works on
1. Changing the Paradigm through the
recognition and articulation of the Black
Businesses Economic Value
2. The development and expansion of ideas that
demonstrate and support the notion that Black
business are an Economic Engine within our
communities and cities
3. Developing Strategies to do something about
our communities economic conditions utilizing
Black businesses
6. What We’ve Learned from Past
Congresses
• Black Community and Black Businesses as an Asset are
UNDERVALUED!
• Politically Black Communities have been used before but
never rewarded. --NEEDS TO BE BUILT INTO
OFFERINGS
• Black Community Undergirds Community Economics--
MAJOR EMPLOYER and Major Contributor of economic
benefits WITHIN BLACK COMMUNITY
• Need to REPOSITION BLACK BUSINESS from Perception
of Entitlement to a Fact of Asset Value with a Return on
Investment.
7. Moving Forward--New Efforts
Bring Program and Outcomes into modern era.
•Old conversation borne in civil rights era around
socioeconomic principles-hard to except and
appears to be entitlement and doesn’t appear to
do anything for the good of the order.
•New conversation –Changing the Paradigm must
articulate the VALUE and economic benefits of
supporting Black business
•A different Investment Strategy that positions
Black businesses as important community economic
engines driving community development as a result
of their Transactions

9. Overcoming the Stakeholder
Fatigue of Past Efforts
Fatigue is the result that happens when you make an
offers using words that describe something that people
associate with lack of benefitor pain.
When that offer is repeated over and over with the
same offensive words—People become non-believers
or fatigued our Communities are FATIGUED when it
comes to Black Business development and leadership!!
Therefore, any new Offer must be Reframed
declaring a different type of success that is easily
recognized with new benefits understood
Not just in Word, but in Fact
11. New Expectations
• A Return on Investment Strategy (ROI) leading
to an INHERITANCE for Future Generations and
Better Communities
• The Acknowledgement that BLACK BUSINESSES
PRODUCE ECONOMIC RETURNS. Economic
Returns that can be Recognized by ALL Parts of
Community
• ROI Approach recognizes that Spending with
Black Business is an really an INVESTMENT not
an entitlement with returns that lead to the
achievement of Community Economic Value-
Add (CEVA)
12. The Black Community is an Eco-
System
• Recognizing that the entire community
forms an Eco-System that must be
considered.
• The Eco-System demands an Enterprise-
wide view
• The Econ-System demands you meet their
expectations if you want participation
13. Examples of Major Stakeholder Groups
Return on Investment (ROI) Expectations
1. Community ROI = Economic Impact (Jobs, Taxes,
Services)
a) They Invest in Infrastructure, Education, Tax Breaks
2. Investors ROI = $Return vs. $Invested
a) They Invest Capitol (Debt or Equity)
3. Employee ROI = Pay and Secure Environment
a) They Invest Waking Hours, Commitment (Emotional)
4. Black Businesses ROI= Growth & Development
a) They Expect Community Support through Opportunity,
Contracts, Business w/each other & the community.
b) They take the Economic Risk
c) They Expect Respect from the market place
14. Hence we must CHANGE THE LANGUAGE!
Around Black business success and Reframe
our Value
• Example--Change Procurement Outcome (or
couple with) to economic indicators
– Jobs created
– Payrolls
– Taxes Paid
• Change language about HOW we Speak about
OURSELVES to economic—i.e. Gourmet Services is a
major employer of Black People with 2,100 employees
• Tie outcomes of utilization to driving of economic
benefit for ALL i.e. How Black businesses affect the
overall success of Atlanta
15. The 5% Solution our Tool
Self-Help--Based on our Spending, Our Money,
with Our Businesses and the Economic Return
created by the spending:
•5% more Black Consumer Spending with Black
Business
•5% More Black Business 2 Black Business Spending
•5% More Black Business support of local Black
Institutions
(Could it be More—Sure but let’s get started first!)
16. The 5% Investment Through
Spending
• Economic Values CAN BE SEEN as important by
Almost ALL Atlanta
• The DISINCENTIVE of doing business with Black
business is MITIGATED by the expected economic
return
• The idea of an INVESTMENT THROUGH
SPENDING creates a Black Business Leadership
approach to total community economic
development not just what will the government
or others do?
17. The 5% Investment Through
Spending (The 5% Solution)
• Can articulate a Competitive Advantage for
Black and minority businesses
• Can be expected to produce Economic return/
ROI that ALL can see.
• Can be used to “fortify” use rather than ‘justify”
use of Black contractors etc.
• Demonstrates how the monies funnel down to
our communities through Business
employment---i.e. can be used to express
benefits to community expected from large
projects-
18. Use 5% Solution to Create Competitive
Advantage
• Shared Values--Driving Economic Benefits for
ALL
• Helps include ALL citizens through job creation as
benefactors
• Can localize benefits to a particular community
• Makes small business an economic engine worthy
of support not just conversation
• It is Visible to ALL and can be Measured--the
Results of Doing Business with Black Firms is a
Great Benefit to Atlanta as a whole! It supports
what others believe about Atlanta!
19. Our Economic Underpinning of Value
Dr. Danny Boston & Dr. Ed Davis
• Atlanta #1 Desired location of Black Business
• Metro Black Businesses create over 56K Jobs--wo/
Support
• 44% of Black business located in high risk areas—
underserved communities
• 66% of employee reflect ownership-Makes it
clear on beneficiary of supporting Black Business
• Relationship between job skill levels and job
requirements-Not as Challenging among MOST
Black Businesses (Employer of Last Resort)
• Economic Impact of Black business $24B
20. Re-Framing our success as
Undeniable Benefits to Our Cities
• 5% Increase in Spending with Black
businesses would CREATE 24K jobs with
an estimated 18K of them Black People
• 5% Increase in Spending Nationally would
LOWER Black unemployment from 13.6%
to 10.4%
