Cluster Advisory Practice (CAP)
The objective of CAP is to assist cluster managers in Europe and globally in professionalisation of their services. CAP stands for a combination of top flight qualifications, local knowledge, global reach and Thought Leadership in the field of knowledge-intensive clusters.
We support cluster managers in the following areas:
- cluster governance;
- measurement of cluster performance;
- project management, monitoring and evaluation;
- change management and human resources;
- strategic and operational planning.
A Comprehensive Range of Services
The specific services that we offer to cluster managers, among others, include:
- development of cluster performance measurement systems;
- carrying out cluster impact evaluations;
- development of communication plans and roadmaps;
- assistance with cluster governance (including the development of cluster governance models);
- development of cluster’s vision, strategy and/or action plan.
Individual Approach
In the course of our work with various clusters, we have developed rigorous methodologies and efficient tools for comprehensive cluster performance measurement, cluster stakeholder analysis and cluster impact evaluation. However, we are convinced that ‘one size fits all’ approach is not applicable to knowledge-intensive clusters. Therefore, we treat each assignment individually, and together with cluster managers and cluster stakeholders we develop unique solutions that best fit the needs of the cluster in question.
Global Possibilities and Local Knowledge
As one of the world's leading providers of professional services, we understand the importance of local specificities. The PwC network of firms has offices in all major cities and countries, and our dedicated CAP team comprises experts from all over the world. As a result, when carrying out assignments, we are able to achieve synergy of our global capabilities and local knowledge.
