Richland County Considers SOAR to Strategic Excellence™
January 23, 2008 - WMFD in Mansfield, Ohio - Leaders in Richland County associated with local business entities, economic development and local government met at the Richland County Job and Family Services to hear a presentation from a consulting firm, in an effort to improve economic development in the county. Larry Goddard developed the Program "SOAR to Strategic Excellence" which he said is a tool to help businesses improve performance and profitability. He said the patent-pending program will equip the business with an in-depth assessment of its health and effectiveness, an early warning system to identify potential business ailments and threats and gives recommendations for business growth and a prioritized action plan. According to Goddard the program only takes one day and it very cost-effective. He also said a program like this would benefit Richland County Job and Family Services because when an entity improves their performance and profitability it causes growth, which in turn creates more jobs.
