At PDI Consulting, we specialize in developing and implementing strategies that create shared prosperity, ensuring that every solution we provide not only generates economic value for our clients, but also improves the business environment, and addresses the environmental and societal challenges encountered in the communities in which they serve.
We recognize that each business, region, country, cluster, or organization we partner with has distinct challenges and objectives. We engage with our clients and all stakeholders to turn these challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth. These partnerships are at the core of our mission.
The Porter Development Initiative (PDI) stands at the forefront of economic strategy and social development consulting. We harness the frameworks pioneered by Professor Michael Porter and the team at the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at Harvard Business School, into practical strategies that foster competitiveness at the national, regional and organizational level.
Tracing its origins to the halls of Harvard Business School, and foundational work at the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness at HBS, the Porter Development Initiative (PDI) emerged from the strategic vision of Professor Michael E. Porter to help countries achieve higher levels of prosperity, especially those that are least developed.
Since its founding, PDI continues to refine its approaches to competitiveness strategy and shared value creation, drawing from a wealth of knowledge and diverse experiences across industries and regions.
The PDI team is composed of leading researchers and practitioners with global experience in assessing, developing, and implementing strategies that foster shared prosperity. Our team includes former Faculty Members from Harvard Business School, Associates and Researchers from the Institute for Strategy and Competitiveness, and affiliate members. We are a community of professionals committed to understanding the drivers of competitiveness and shared prosperity, and developing customized solutions that enhance economic and social development in the regions where we work.
