Chair CEO workshop discussions for London Development Agency

Their key task was to support and ultimately retain businesses in London, including new arrivals, and hence play a role that complimented and supported that of the main London inward investment agency, Think London.

OpenCities facilitated the discussion between the 5 CEOS, capturing key insights and recommendations as well as ensuring that the conversation remained structured and on track. Following the workshop OpenCities developed a report together with a number of recommendations aimed at addressing the core concerns of the partnerships. The report was very well received and its recommendations formed the basis for subsequent action by all 5 partnerships the majority of which received a second contract from the LDA.
