Future iQ^® works extensively on projects that target workforce and economic development. These projects aim to explore industry diversification opportunities and strategies, and how to better align the workforce with emerging industry needs. Often these projects are regional in scale, and require a focus on building collaboration between sectors and organisations that comprise the economic development and workforce development ecosystem. Future iQ applies customised strategic planning, network mapping and data visualisation tools to help local stakeholders identify and target gaps in their systems, and areas of quickest return.
