For twenty years we have helped business and economic development support organizations in the nine regions of England, in Ireland and further afield (through the EU, World Bank and UNDP) develop the capabilities and strategies for success.

A Platform for Marketing and Service Development: The Forum 21 Model defines the eight core segments of the business support market, their attendant development agendas and pertinent responses thereto. As such it is an essential platform for effective marketing planning by support organizations, market understanding by support organization personnel and for service development planning and implementation.

A Platform for Advice: for advisory and other client facing personnel including sales personnel the insight to the client and their support needs which the FORUM 21 DIAGNOSTIC MODEL affords is an essential ingredient for success.

A Platform for Strategy: for organizations seeking to review and develop their business and economic development support strategies the FORUM 21 MODEL and its attendant development planning tools offer the perfect platform.
