We specialize in personal, independent introductions to
relevant professional service providers such as business location strategy
consultants and our many economic development contacts according to the
project interests of the executives we serve.
Our
Professional Site Selection Tour and "Meeting
Point" services also introduce site selection
professionals who can
assist communities through special research trips ("inward visits" or
familiarization tours), pre-scheduled meetings at major events, and services
designed to support their competitive benchmarking analysis, investment
promotion strategies, and marketing programs.

We can also privately coordinate executive visits to one
or more business locations when
planning an investment project or seeking local business alliances.
Please
contact us to discuss such services or introductory referrals.

The International
Business Introduction Service
for Technology-Led Business Cluster Development
Background
Information about this unique B2B service
which collaborates globally with local economic development
programs
such as business retention, expansion, trade, and cluster
initiatives
to introduce executives to potentially relevant business
contacts
according to their specified interests and preferences
without necessarily waiting to meet at networking events.

| Our new "On
The Short List" research reports will feature timely and actionable local market
knowledge for the benefit of executives and advisors who are planning
capital investment projects such as new offices, factories, distribution
centers, or other business operations anywhere. These will be
organized by state, province, country, and industry sector. This
service complements our corporate relationship development and referral
work, through which we provide senior executives with well-qualified
introductory referrals according to their current project interests.
Our GUIDE services for leading economic development organizations (EDO's)
and service providers support this market research.
Please let us know if you would like to participate in this new
service, or have suggestions for the content to make it an even more useful
resource. Our goal is to make this one of the most practical and
helpful sources of information on the Internet for top executives and
advisors who are planning major capital investment projects anywhere.

 This page remains under
development. The rest of the page illustrates
the expanded content which will soon become available for reference here.
Content on this site can be searched easily by our custom
Google site search and existing
navigation links through thousands of useful resources worldwide. Our
local site search results come from the same Google data as for their
searches across the web, rather than from a more limited search tool tied
exclusively to the content of this site.
At the current pace, this website is already expected to
attract over 500,000 visitors in 2006. It attracted over 200,000 in
2004, and 320,000 in 2005. It was new in 2003. See
statistics.

| How fast
can anyone in the world find out about a business area or service now?
By sharing more local knowledge of an area or service
provider through this site, we can make it even easier to discover
capabilities relevant to the interests of the executives and advisors we
serve. Try this through our
Google Site Search, available on every page. |

We plan to develop similar features about many states
during 2005, typically preparing the reports at a pace of 2-4 per month as
organizations choose to participate. We will also prepare expanded
lists of professional service providers by state as we do this research.
The following presentations are just outlines at this time, but
will be completed soon.
If you would like us to highlight your area or service soon,
contact us directly to discuss participation in any of our services.

More areas will be added each month, and the content will
expand over time. This page will link all of the "On The Short List"
features together for quick and easy reference by executives and their
advisors. The content will be updated on a planned schedule each year,
but unlike print media, we can update or add the presentations at any time
as appropriate, and the content remains readily available throughout the
year.
We welcome enquiries from area representatives and
professional services providers who would like to feature their capabilities
to support business investment projects through this unique channel. There are
already extensive
"long
list" directories of economic development organizations by state, as
well as regional directories of
contacts which include major EDO's as well as other types of
professional service providers and regional information sources.
There are also various GUIDE "content" services to
share knowledge about specific areas and service providers in a globally
consistent way.
The "On The Short List" features tie this market
knowledge together in a simple presentation framework which is easy to
browse quickly and reach directly through search engines such as the custom
Google services which we feature on this site.
This complements our primary focus on providing
independent, professional referrals and market research support for
executives and their advisors.
The easiest way to take advantage of the extensive market
knowledge we share is to just
contact us in confidence for project support and well-qualified
referrals.

These services draw on the content of GUIDE Network Surveys and
the more detailed executive summary presentations of key topics with links
and contact details for a local area or service in the GUIDE Area Profiles
or Service Profiles. Other GUIDE services are used to address specific topics
in more detail such as Testimonials, Project Profiles, Tax and Incentive
Profiles, Property Profiles, and other GUIDE Tools for investors.
We also welcome feedback from executives and their
advisors about how to make this feature even more useful for their purposes,
because the basic premise behind "On The Short List" is to provide timely
and actionable insights for development of future capital investment project
plans - from the "long list" and "short list" stages of
planning to successful project completion and continued growth at that
location or elsewhere. |

Regional
Directories |
|
The "Short
List" buttons link to our "On The Short List" features of timely research
and GUIDE content.
Regional and
State directories are "Long Lists" of Economic Development Organizations (EDO's)
and services.
The state
directories will be more comprehensive than the selective lists in our
regional contact directories.
The content
follows the same structure, and will sometimes be redundant (same entries in both directories).
The services directories are selective lists of
professional service providers by state and specialty.
Some service providers will also appear in regional
directories or the global contact directories for their specialty. |
