Business Navigation
Based on experience administering Business Navigation services to the Old Town Community Association, the Brown and Carter Management Group is well-equipped to support other communities in a similar capacity. Leveraging this experience, we can begin by:
Conducting a comprehensive needs assessment in the target community,
Identifying specific challenges, opportunities, and support requirements.
Drawing from our previous work, we will then develop a customized service plan tailored to the unique needs and economic development goals of the community. Our expertise in creating educational materials and fostering collaborations with local stakeholders will play a pivotal role in providing the necessary resources to support local businesses.
Our commitment to appointing a culturally specific Business Navigator, well-versed in community development and small business support, ensures that we understand the community's unique dynamics intimately. We will implement weekly office hours and support group model, mirroring the successful approach used in Old Town, which allows local business owners to seek guidance, share experiences, and connect with peers.
To generate awareness about the community's economic development initiatives, we will craft a strategic media plan and engage with local news outlets, ensuring that the positive impact of our services is well-covered. Lastly, our ongoing monitoring, feedback collection, and adaptation mechanisms will guarantee that the services evolve to meet the changing needs of the community, ultimately fostering thriving local businesses and driving economic growth.
