Success Stories
Issue:
A state-owned enterprise (SOE) had the responsibility of analyzing its own investment projects all over the country on a regular basis. It employed a large number of economists but they varied a great deal in terms of prior experience and capability. The SOE then approached Bolliger & Company to provide a training program to equip approximately 50 economists and executives with the standardized levels of skills to be used when analyzing large-scale projects. The SOE also wanted to enhance the staff’s skills in conducting market surveys and performing strategic planning.
Our solution:
Taking into account the fact that our client was an SOE which was concerned with not only generating financial returns but also creating benefits for the communities nearby the various investment projects, our trainers came up with a method of evaluating the indirect economic impacts arising from the SOE’s endeavors. The method developed for this purpose is not standard in most feasibility analyses. We conducted a two-day training course to familiarize the client’s staff with the relevant techniques and trained them to be competent in performing the analysis.
Part of the training program was also devoted to modules on strategic planning and market survey design.
Result
The program was rated highly by the participants. Approximately 50 economists were successfully evaluated by our trainers and they went on to analyze subsequent projects of their organization. The method developed for this particular case has been replicated for investment sites at many areas in the country.
