Multi-Agency Service Teams A New Approach in Maine To Deliver Technical Assistance to Rural Manufacturers
Year: 1998
Type: article
Abstract: In 1994, the State of Maine began an experiment to improve the coordination of technical assistance to wood products manufacturers. State and Federal agencies worked with colleges, private consultants, and nonprofit organizations to target assistance to the particular needs of the wood products industry. Results were generally positive but also showed the need to carefully match assistance with the requirements of the individual firm and to improve teamwork among service providers. Preparation and coordination emerged as key factors in determining the success of delivering services.
