Why Researchers Are Essential to BR|E

In research secondary data is abundant and often imprecise when viewed from a local perspective. BR|E is essential to economic development because, if well designed, it can deliver invaluable primary data to temper outside facts and tailor strategy to the local reality.

C2ER’s partner tool, Synchronist Suite® guides economic development professionals through BR|E interviews and economic development program management. The tool provides predictive intelligence to anticipate problems and opportunities before they become obvious. Prospect tracking gives a live view of the expansion and attraction pipeline. Married with the expansion potential from BR|E interviews, Synchronist provides a comprehensive view of the community’s growth potential.

Check out the videos below to learn more about Synchronist and best practices approach to BR|E interviews that generate valuable information for documentation and discovery.
