National PPD with Sector Component Sectoral WG are common in national PPDs 2009 PPD review by Malcolm Toland Herzberg, Levy, Wares, 2010 2
National PPD with Sector Component Works well with removing administrative burdens but perhaps limited impact in terms of sector competitiveness • Large companies tend to abandon the WG process along the way • Heavy set-up tends to burn political capital quickly • Limited information sharing unless feel extremely secure or obvious benefits • PS gathers in order to remove direct constraints (e.g. business environment) Herzberg, Levy, Wares, 2010
Move toward Competitiveness… Partnerships Competitiveness is restrained by six basic structural factors. Isolated competitiveness exists, but highly competitive firms limited to isolated first movers, innovators, sometime foreign link. Some competitiveness in firms benefiting from conjuncture but hardly sustainable. Herzberg, 2010 Herzberg, Levy, Wares, 2010

They help devise sound industrial sector policy. Gaps are identified and addressed through coordinated joint actions. The CPI results in bringing a group of lesser performing individual firms to “A” level. Herzberg, Levy, Wares, 2010 5

Where do you start? • Where is there latent competitive advantage (in which sector?), which a CPI would reveal? • What specific gaps can a CPI bridge for given sectors and what opportunities exist for joint actions that will improve competitiveness? • What is the process to construct and implement the CPI action plan?

From diagnosis to joint action • Conduct research based on scientific approach • Participatory approach to communicate research findings - Workshops with private sector, government, others • Identify joint actions that will improve competitiveness • Prioritize and implement action plan Herzberg, Levy, Wares, 2010
Types of actions • Feasibility studies • Benchmarking • Market information • Joint promotion, FDI attraction • Research partnerships (university/skills) • Specialized infrastructure, financing, training • Emphasis on activities with spillover effects • CPI set up, financing, organizational process Actions Action Groups Structure to support those and future Action Groups Herzberg, Levy, Wares, 2010
