Creating an Enterprise Culture

The Agency commissioned a study of the region’s ‘Enterprise
Culture’ activity in January 2007. Entitled ‘Rising to the Enterprise Challenge’ this research has helped the Agency to determine what the enterprise landscape looks like within the region and how the agency and it's partners can establish a successful enterprise
culture in the Northwest.

Rising to the Enterprise Challenge - Executive Summary

The aims of the research have been to:

  • Produce an enterprise framework that will provide a coordinated approach to creating an enterprise culture with the Northwest.
  • Research the key components 
  • Provide a clear evidence base to guide the role of the agency in influencing, coordinating or lobbying support for an enterprise culture.

The remainder of the executive summary explains our method, defines enterprise culture (to explain how this approach differs from traditional business support), describes the extent of the enterprise challenge, and sets out a strategic framework for rising to the enterprise challenge.
