An exceptional range of experience arises from the practice of more than 1 600 locations :

• Location of a global or specific business in terms of its strategic, economic and spatial requirements in existing or in emerging market regions of the world.
• Competitive assessment of production zones, business parks and knowledge centres, balancing their development in relation to regional infrastructure and resources.
• Economic and business attraction strategy, organisational training and development for public economic agencies in Europe, Middle East and North Africa.
• Corporate real estate management through survey, occupation and use analysis, leading to business-based strategy and site planning for world-wide companies.

Comprehensive advice

These complementary resources can have the widest origins, from audit, accounting, law, engineering, regulatory or investment organisations. Rather than maximise its own staff inputs, BLI remains ready to optimise the resources that best assist each Client – and the firm’s wide experience ensures that we regularly succeed in getting this balance right.

BLI and its founder still pursue a world-wide university network, often sourcing essential economic and social data through local researchers who are nationals having no barriers of culture or language. This enables the firm to reach further and to define location issues more clearly, even for Client organisations that may already have their own local company.

Direct delivery

BLI directors advise on location in many parts of the world. Assignments regularly become site-specific so that study results can be delivered either to the Client company headquarters or in the region of location. Development and training missions frequently involve international travel in order to observe Best Practice, but Client managers generally receive the bulk of their training within the environment of their own organisation.
