Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation
Introducing our New Organization
June 18, 2012
Why…Background
2
•
When MEDT was reconsolidated (Small Business, Investment & Trade and
Economic Development) in 2009, priority was placed on organizational
stability, rather than efficiency and effective and strategic coherence.
•
MEDT recognized this and identified several opportunities for change, but
held off until the post-election ministries were announced.
•
The combination of MRI and MEDT increased the opportunities for a full
scale integration, with a clear vision / mission, and a refreshed sense of
purpose aligned with the new fiscal reality.
