Regional Development

The significance of regional competition is steadily growing in today's global landscape. It is crucial for companies to enhance their competitiveness and shape the future by strategically planning and leveraging local dynamics, including favorable factor conditions and adopting a value chain approach. At TABU, we recognize the value of utilizing the concept of "Clustering" as a powerful tool for developing regional-sectoral planning and future strategies, rather than merely an end goal.

Our approach involves providing tailored solutions to cluster formations, regional institutions, professional organizations, and public institutions. We take pride in having a team that is accredited by the European Foundation for Cluster Excellence (EFCE) and the European Secretariat for Cluster Analysis (ESCA). By leveraging our expertise and experience, we offer valuable insights and support to our clients in four key areas:

European Cluster Quality Label:

TABU offers comprehensive support to cluster organizations in their quest to enhance their competitive power and achieve international recognition through the ESCA Quality Labels. We utilize a meticulous approach that involves effectively benchmarking structures, processes, products, and services against both similar clusters within the same sector and successful clusters from diverse sectors. This comparative analysis enables us to provide strategic suggestions and identify potential areas for development.

Working closely with cluster organizations, we prepare a detailed report that outlines the identified development areas and provides actionable steps for maximum benefit. This report serves as a roadmap, guiding cluster stakeholders towards establishing professional, effective, and efficient management processes. We evaluate cluster management practices and development areas to determine the most suitable strategies for achieving management excellence.

As a result of our comprehensive study and collaboration, the cluster organization gains the prestigious ESCA Quality Label. This label not only enhances its international recognition but also signifies the establishment of robust management processes. It serves as a testament to the cluster organization's commitment to professional standards, facilitating trust and collaboration among stakeholders.

Regional Needs Analysis and Future Strategy for Companies

TABU specializes in conducting comprehensive needs analysis and developing regional future strategies for companies. Our planning process focuses on ensuring that cluster structures align with competitive strategies of the future rather than merely addressing present-day needs. To achieve this, we employ a method developed by the European Foundation for Cluster Excellence.

Needs Analysis and Future Strategy development work delivers solutions in sectoral transformation studies and aids in the development of regional plans and strategies. Our primary objectives include boosting the innovation capacity and competitive power of companies within the cluster, providing tailored services to companies in a more systematic manner, enhancing the international image of the cluster, and implementing cluster policies more effectively.

Throughout this process, we adopt a systematic approach that includes change management principles. By doing so, we establish the necessary infrastructure that enables cluster stakeholders to work together toward a common goal. This approach ensures that the cluster is well-equipped to embrace future challenges and opportunities, driving collective growth and success.

Cluster Management Excellence Training

TABU not only provides solutions, but also aims to increase competence in clustering in the regions and in the country. In this framework, it periodically organizes "Cluster Management Excellence Training" with the participation of national and international trainers.

Cluster Strategy and Roadmap

Competitive strategies are put forward by analyzing the current status of the companies based on their functions and by presenting alternative strategic segments for the company group. With the Roadmap, it is ensured that the infrastructure that will enable cluster stakeholders to achieve common goals is created.
