websitebuilder-hub • 23 October 2015
OpenCities was asked to chair a day long workshop comprising the CEOs of 5 sub-regional business partnerships in the London region. The partnerships were partly funded by the Mayor of London’s development agency the London Development Agency (LDA).
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.
