Back to work
A business opportunity atlas as a sector-reading tool
Moved industry structure analysis out of a rarely-opened report chapter and into views that can be traversed by sector and region.

- Regional economic development
- Our role
- Analytical framework, data modelling, dashboard
Problem
- Sector competitiveness analysis existed, but was buried in long documents that were hard to compare across regions.
- Each region used slightly different sector definitions, making direct comparison misleading.
Approach
- Standardised sector definitions first, and flagged explicitly where source data could not be reconciled.
- Applied the industry structure framework consistently across all sectors, not only the headline ones.
- Designed views so one screen answers one question, with traversal down to the underlying indicators.
Outcome
- Cross-sector and cross-region comparison now happens on one shared set of definitions.
- Data limitations are stated inside the product rather than hidden in a footnote.
