Delivering the vision

To achieve the goals will require analysis of business needs, dialogue with key partners, alignment of funding, and enhanced co-ordination, with simple branding and access.  To oversee and guide the process, a private sector-led Transition Management Board (NETMB) has been set up and a Transition Management Plan (NETMP) developed.

The NETMP sets out how business support simplification can be achieved, focusing on;

• alignment of current funding streams;
• development of support packages to deliver the products of BSSP; AND
• effective co-ordination and communication to ensure regional cohesion.

By 2010, we will:

• Make business support easier to access and understand.
• Ensure high quality business support for all, with targeted support where appropriate.
• Integrate publicly funded support with the broad range of private and third sector support available.
• Ensure we respond dynamically to business requirements where there is market failure, creating innovative solutions recognising complex needs and differences across the region.
• Enhance economic impact by reducing duplication, increasing alignment, improving procurement and enhancing co-ordination of business support.
