The Maine Competitiveness Assessment
PDI (Porter Development Initiative) partnered with the Maine Jobs Council to evaluate the state’s economic competitiveness and identify barriers to growth. The assessment combined benchmarking, sectoral research, and Porter’s Diamond Model to highlight structural challenges—including low productivity, weak innovation, and talent shortages. It concluded with four strategic priorities to strengthen workforce attraction, boost private investment, foster innovation, and scale high-value businesses.

Projects
Competitiveness and Economic Development, Shared Value
Our engagement with India has involved direct collaboration with the country’s highest levels of leadership. Working closely with the Prime Minister’s policy think tank, we contributed to a range of strategic initiatives, with a particular focus on measuring and improving social progress across India’s diverse regions. Building on this work, the India Competitiveness Initiative was established with a mandate to conduct a full diagnostic of the nation’s competitiveness and to develop a comprehensive strategic agenda for the country. This forthcoming initiative aims to integrate economic, social, and regional priorities into a unified framework, positioning India for sustained, inclusive growth.
Ireland– Competitiveness and Economic Development
Projects
Competitiveness and Economic Development
In 2015, at the initiative of the National Competitiveness Council (NCC), our team conducted an in-depth analysis of Ireland’s competitiveness. This work was personally initiated by the NCC’s leadership and aimed to review and refine the conceptual approach underpinning their advisory role to the national government. Through an assessment of competitiveness concepts, economic indicators, and emerging trends, we informed the NCC’s updated strategic framework. This strengthened Ireland’s ability to adapt its competitiveness policies to the realities of a rapidly changing global economy.
