An Economic Development Plan for the Manufacturing Sector in Manitoba
A Strategic Plan to Enhance the Global Competitiveness of Manitoba's Manufacturing Firms
Sponsored by CME Manitoba's Advanced Manufacturing Initiative, the goal of this project was to develop an economic development plan that will result in a growing, sustainable and globally competitive manufacturing sector in Manitoba over the next 10+ years.
The underlying philosophy of the project was that the economic development plan would be "developed by manufacturers for manufacturers." In other words, for the plan to be successful, it would have to be "owned" by the manufacturing sector.
The prioritized recommendations in the plan are grouped under four major themes:
- Vision, leadership, and managing change capability in Manitoba's manufacturing sector. (VLC)
- The ability to attract, develop, and retain human talent. (HRD)
- A competitive business environment. (CBE)
- A long-term manufacturing development strategy that reflects and builds on the uniqueness of Manitoba. (LTD)
