Pacesetter Program<br />
As <strong>MEDA</strong>’s premier consulting<br />
effort, the Pacesetter<br />
Program is a proven<br />
management consulting<br />
approach to accelerate<br />
the growth and build<br />
the capacity of a select<br />
group of high-potential<br />
clients.<br />
The program provides<br />
entrepreneurs with<br />
advanced business<br />
consulting services to fill in<br />
gaps in the areas of resource<br />
and financing, organizational<br />
infrastructure and internal<br />
systems.<br />
To help meet strategic development needs, Pacesetter launched the<br />
Next Step series as an exclusive initiative for current Pacesetters<br />
and alumni. In <strong>2006</strong>, 132 participants from 20 client companies<br />
participated in six sessions focused on<br />
marketing and sales development.<br />
