Regional SME Jobs-Growth Strategy Development


The SME Job Creation Proposition

The best way of retaining and building high value jobs lies with a Region’s growth SMEs


What do SMEs have to do?

• To create sustainable jobs, SMEs have to lift their activity levels (Sales) through investment in new business development;

• To achieve a sustainable growth rate of ≥10% pa, SMEs need to invest up to 10% of annual Sales in:• Identifying and validating additional business opportunities;• Making the best of these market-ready;

• And, they need to spend another 10% of annual sales on marketing and selling their existing and new offerings.


What sort of companies can do this?

Success requires companies which are:• Confidently managed;• Outward looking;• Addressing areas of real opportunity;• Are capable of making investments in the right areas

of business growth – and are willing to do so.

So, what can a Region do to accelerate the willingness and competence of growth SMEs to invest successfully in sustainable growth?

The Jobs Creation Assessor

We workshop an overview of job creation opportunities in your Region using our SME Jobs Creation Assessor.

This provides an excellent introduction to the issues involved.


Stakeholder Commitment

We workshop with you issues and implications of using SME-Job Development Strategies in your Region.

We help you identify the resources you’ll need access to successfully execute these strategies.


Regional Job Goals

We work with you on realistic Goals for job creation by the region’s SMEs taking into account the changes companies will need to be stimulated to make.

We can show you how these changes can be linked to other strategies you’re developing – such as projects and infrastructure development.


Key Industry and other Strategies

We help you choose the Key Industries to focus on (‘verticals’) or key non-industry specific SME populations (‘horizontals’).

And then the strategies by which they are to be attacked.

commitment;• Regional Job Goals linked to SME-

based job generation;• Strategies to achieve goals including
