This course is the first in a series that will provide you with the knowledge and skills to become proficient at economic development. In choosing to educate yourself, you have chosen to improve the decisions that will have a significant effect on your community’s future. The function of economic development (ED) is often complex, and understanding your role in the process will be key both to the success of your career, and to the overall success of your economic development activities. This course is the 30,000-foot view of the process of economic development. It provides the theory and fundamentals of ED along with examples of how it can be applied. There is no one way to do ED.

Instructor: Holly Sorgen
This advanced course will focus on the key principles and practices of professional management in economic development. It will define excellence in economic development and explain the fundamentals of managing for results, outcome-based performance, organizational assessment, stakeholder identification, vision and mission scope, organizational culture and more. Also, participants will learn how to engage their board or council, staff and community stakeholders, constituents, and customers to achieve results in job creation, tax-base stabilization and community growth and development. Since EDO's differ from one another depending on their available resources, location, and mission, this course is designed to equip a leader of any organization to make the right decisions.
Course Highlights:
• Outcome-based management and performance • Managing conflict and developing a statement of ethics • Understanding and evaluating the EDO's core competencies • Serving the customer and measuring customer satisfaction • Improving knowledge management and internal processes • Working with board/city council members, staff and community stakeholders • Team building, determining hiring needs, and managing budgets • Leveraging existing resources and working with regional organizations
The purpose of this dinner and speed-dating style event is to bring together EDA members and key federal and provincial Ministry representatives to network, share information and explore potential partnerships.
