Business plan 2009-2012

Our Business Plan for 2009-2012 sets out what we will deliver over the next three years, and how we will monitor and measure our performance.

Working for economic recovery and growth

Our remit is to support growth among Scotland’s most ambitious companies and help improve the business environment they operate in. But is it right to talk about growth in the current economic climate?

Scotland is home to a group of ambitious industry sectors with unique global strengths and competitive advantage. We know that despite challenging conditions many companies operating in these sectors still see prospects for their businesses to grow. They know they may need to adapt their plans, apply some creative thinking or expand their market focus. Where these companies show a determination to succeed, we will be ready and able to help them achieve that ambition.

And for companies who may find it difficult to see a way through the current conditions, we are committed to providing direct support and guidance to help them reduce costs and increase efficiencies as well as encouraging them to identify new opportunities for their business through diversifying or targeting new markets overseas.
