Success Story Business Education Council of Niagara

“BEC is currently managing a multi-million dollar project to develop a Niagara portal (http://www.yourniagara.ca) and get municipal services on-line. This partnership includes 12 municipalities, two school boards, as well as the college and the university in Niagara.  Community capacity building requires a very special and complex partnership to be effective, it is for this reason that there is often a need for a neutral entity to manage the project for the partners who are attempting to build community capacity.  We offered to provide this service, and it has worked well for the project and us.”

Food For Thought

Often agencies become too reliant on a strategic plan.  It is important to set clear intentions and to have an idea of where you want to go, but don’t get too tied to the results.  There are too many things that we have no control over.  Only try to control what you can control and do that well.
