Professional controlling and reporting creates transparency about an economic development organization's services, enables data-driven management decisions and gives supervisory bodies and policymakers solid evidence of effectiveness. • Service recording: Systematic documentation of all services delivered, by type, scope and target group • KPI definition: Developing and maintaining a system of indicators to measure EDO performance • Regular reporting: Producing periodic reports for management, supervisory bodies and local politics • Benchmark analysis: Comparing your own performance indicators with those of comparable economic development organizations • Impact measurement: Analyzing the actual effects of EDO measures on the regional economy • Proof of funding use: Documenting the earmarked use of funds for funding and grant bodies

Performance data recorded manually in Excel spreadsheets, reports produced by hand in Word or PowerPoint, data laboriously consolidated from various sources, the reporting cycle ties up considerable staff capacity.
