Challenge: Understanding what businesses value
23
Poll #1: Understanding Our Value
Which of the following best describes your team’s progress in understanding the value of your role and services to business? • We’re researching industry trends and needs so we understand the challenges
employers face and can talk to them produc7vely about solu7ons. • We've been providing business services, but don't know which services
employers value, so we are launching a process to find that out. • We have employers who seem to like our services, but our market is small.
We’d like to grow it and get a beoer idea of the services that are valued by the market, rather than by the small number of firms we work with now.
• We have become "trusted partners" in our business community and are working alongside firms to solve important community challenges like youth unemployment.
