Expert Analysis Backed by Experience
Why Ted Figura Consulting?
Why
choose Ted Figura Consulting for
your economic development consulting needs?
Ted Figura Consulting is a sole
proprietorship. That
means you’ll get Ted Figura’s experience and expert
analysis (not that of a junior staffer under the “direction”
of a partner in the firm).
When engaging Ted Figura Consulting, you can be assured
that the approach taken will be fresh and custom-fitted to
your community and its circumstances. There are no
cookie-cutters in Ted Figura’s tool kit. He will always
look behind the obvious to discover what is unique and new
in any situation.
Ted Figura’s work in economic development
and fiscal impact analysis has been at the local level. He, therefore,
brings the perspective of a local economic developer,
working with regional and state agencies and with prospects
and private developers.
Ted Figura’s experience has also been in
the actual performance of economic development policy
analysis, incentive structuring, program development,
research and planning—not just in the supervision or
management of these activities.
- Analysis, not Salesmanship
Ted Figura recognizes that, in economic
development, salesmanship can only go so far. In order to really
move your community ahead, its strengths and weaknesses,
opportunities and threats must be thoroughly analyzed with
the results informing every move forward. By engaging Ted Figura Consulting, you are getting
what you really want in a consultant--someone who
understands the economic development process and is able to
use an analytical approach to reach conclusions that do not
restate the obvious.
- Creativity and Innovation
through Problem-solving
Whether
it’s
through incentive structuring and negotiation, program
development or strategic economic development planning,
creative and innovative solutions come from addressing the
problem, not pre-determining the answer.
When
you engage Ted Figura Consulting, you’re not paying
for the overhead of maintaining an office or keeping
salaried employees on the payroll. The result is that
a dollar spent is a dollar spent on productivity and
performance. No
matter what your budget, your money will go further and buy
more expert analysis when you engage Ted Figura Consulting.
