PROJECT PLANNING STUDIES

EPG Victoria conducts planning studies for a variety of business development projects.  These projects are usually conducted for  businesses or for  economic development corporations.  Development planning projects are typically intended to provide recommendations based on an analysis of markets, trends and future outlook forecasts.  Specific work program steps vary among projects, but can involve some or all of the following tasks:

  • Define the problems or issues

  • Develop a project methodology

  • Conduct situation analysis

  • Conduct surveys of users (existing and potential)

  • Interview stakeholders

  • Analyze relevant trends

  • Conduct product-market match

  • Formulate conclusions and recommendations
