The primary disciplines of WCM are strategic assessment, economic development, market analysis and business competitiveness. Primary strengths are in the collection and analysis of data to derive information, the dissemination of this information in a cogent and practical manner, the development of a realizable vision and the synthesis of strategies to achieve the goals. The facilitation of diverse groups to form a cohesive and unified effort is also a key tool used in much of the work of WCM.
