City of Sydney’s 2022 Business Needs Survey Report

The City of Sydney conducts an annual Business Needs Survey to assist its decision-making and how it allocates its local business grants, capacity-building programs and other support.

The City of Sydney required an advisor with the capability to develop a high-impact, user-focused report to:

• Inform businesses and policy-makers of the current business environment and future challenges and opportunities
• Help businesses and policy-makers to make informed decisions.

The report had to be engaging and highly visual, containing a range of different devices to communicate economic insights to a range of readers.

The solution

Oxford Economics Australia developed a rich and compelling report to engage and inform local businesses and policy makers on the business environment and findings of the 2022 Business Needs Survey. This involved:

• Developing evidence-based insights from the 2022 Business Needs Survey data,
• Synthesiing those insights into compelling and easily understandable commentary with high-impact visualisations, and
• Brining a team with the capability and experience to deliver the project efficiently, on time and with ease of implementation for the City.

The results

Our client at the City of Sydney spoke highly of our collaboration: “The quality of work has been very high throughout. The meeting preparations and presentations were well thought through in order to maximise value. The final report is as requested; easy to read, evidence-based and a concise snapshot of the current economic climate as well as thorough examination of the survey data.”
