On Sunday, October 25 at the 2015 NADO Annual Training Conference, Barbara Wyckoff of Dynamica Consulting facilitated the workshop “Strengthening Your SWOT and Building Wealth.” The workshop introduced concepts of wealth creation as an economic development strategy and presented the wealth creation framework as a lens for completing a SWOT assessment of a region’s economy, such as that required by the U.S. Economic Development Administration for its grantees completing Comprehensive Economic Development Strategies (CEDS).
Workshop materials included the following handouts, included here as Word documents for RDOs and others to use in their own regional economic development work:
- Participant Agenda (.docx)
- Instructions for Small Groups (.docx)
- Spider Diagram: Assessing the Capitals (.docx)
- Handout: Not Your Mother’s SWOT (but still in the family!) (.docx)
- Measuring an Increase in Capital (.docx)
