BusinessLiverpool also leads the implementation of the City Growth Liverpool initiative, a radical new approach to economic development that aims to put business and enterprise at the heart of policy making. Based on a successful American model pioneered by Professor Michael Porter from The Harvard Business School, the City Growth model recognises that it is local businesses and wealth creators who are the key to sustainable growth and prosperity and aims to unblock Liverpool's economic potential by focusing on its existing and emerging strengths, and identifying and addressing barriers to business growth.
