Description
Hosts Bill Condon and Matt McGregor talk to Maureen Donohue Krauss, the President and CEO of the Detroit Regional Partnership, a leading economic development nonprofit serving the larger Detroit region. They discuss why you should be doing business in Detroit, the benefits of investing in a culture-rich town, and why talent is an issue affecting businesses across the board. Maureen goes through the three dynamic things that make Detroit one of the best industrial towns to invest in. People used to ask about water and sewer pipelines before moving to an industrial town. As Maureen explains, all that has changed with people now more interested in the talent pool than anything else. Although finding the right talent is a major issue affecting businesses across the board, Maureen reveals that industries moving to Detroit can expect to find a talent pool with a deep understanding of industrial operations. According to Maureen, workforce diversity is a really important element in today's business environment. This is why most people consider Detroit a diversity hub with an 80% black population and the largest Arab population outside the Middle East. Maureen describes why companies look at supply chains and a steady access to top talent before investing in new towns.
