With the support of McKinsey consultancy, work began on the so-called Axis 3 of the Economic, Inclusive and Sustainable Development Plan, which provides for the implementation of management tools and the design of Invest RS processes, products and services, within Strategic Planning 2025 -2026 of the agency.
According to the president of Invest RS, Rafael Prikladnicki, this is an important stage in the agency’s institutional and operational maturity. “The structuring of all our internal processes, products and services and a strategic map will make Invest RS clear about its corporate objectives and so that we can act cohesively in implementing our mission, which is to promote economic development of the State through attracting investments and commercial promotion”, explains Prikladnicki.
The Secretary of Economic Development, Ernani Polo, highlights the importance of the previous stages, such as the actual preparation of the Plan and the modeling of the agency. “In the new phase, it is essential to qualify human material for the operationalization of processes, and it is necessary to work on training teams, aligning management strategies for production routines to carry out the structuring of work with the public sector”, says Polo.
On the first day of work, on Monday (13/1), there was a conversation with the director for Latin America at South Summit and founder of the Numerik consultancy, Eduardo Lorea. He helped attract the South Summit event to Rio Grande do Sul. Afterwards, an initial review of Invest RS’s involvement with the initiatives foreseen by the Economic, Inclusive and Sustainable Development Plan was carried out. Furthermore, McKinsey recapped some international references that served as inspiration for the creation of Invest RS, in particular the case of Invest Ontario, from Canada. The consultancy also presented the methodology with which it will help the Rio Grande do Sul agency to structure the definitive intelligence services and those that will be provided to investors and exporters.
Throughout this week, McKinsey will apply dynamics so that Invest RS completes the development of its portfolio, in line with the strategic map designed for the agency’s operation. “The objective is to have all the tools to generate visible results as quickly as possible, all based on a strategic foundation and with well-defined priorities”, says Prikladnicki.
This Tuesday (14/1), the consultants and the Invest RS team delved into the initiatives foreseen in the Economic, Inclusive and Sustainable Development Plan, to identify those in which Invest RS participates, with the aim of converting them into projects with defined work plans. The agency’s portfolio of products and services is being shaped in line with the plan’s guidelines and the purpose of offering the best services to investors and exporters, in addition to market intelligence. McKinsey’s monitoring will last three months.
