The Dashboard is a few metrics <br />that are regularly reported to stakeholders via e -communications and on the website. We will work with Orange <br />County to develop the Dashboard metrics. In addition to the Dashboard, we will recommend a more <br />comprehensive set of data points for the organization to track. We consider these to be “economic health <br />indicators.” They take a considerable amount of time to impact but are important: income, povert y, median <br />home value, educational attachment, etc. <br /> <br />Deliverable: A set of program metrics that Orange County Economic Development can use to t rack <br />implementation progress of the strategic plan. <br /> <br />Strategic Plan <br />The Orange County Economic Development Strategic Plan will include a wide range of strategies to enhance <br />the business climate, improve competitiveness, and address the development needs of all of Orange County. <br /> <br />Example Strategies: <br />• Attraction and development of target clusters <br />• Business retention and expansion <br />• External (attraction) and internal (BRE and stakeholders) marketing and communications <br />• Product development aligned with target clusters, growing business sectors , trends in startups, and <br />agri-business <br />• Talent development programs that provide a talent pipeline for the future <br />• Best in class organization with capacity, resources, and partners to implement of the strategic plan <br /> <br />The Economic Development Strategic Plan will be an integrated <br />report containing all information gathered and analysis performed <br />during the process.
