Striving toward a Competitive Industry: The Importance of Dynamic Value Chain Facilitation

Systemic constraints and opportunities within a value chain are constantly shifting, and have a direct influence on the upgrading strategy. It is critical that dynamic facilitation is applied to not only capture and read these signals, but to actively respond with new interventions to ensure the necessary outcome is achieved. This paper will highlight the importance of dynamic facilitation within the value chain approach. Specifically, it will examine approaches for embedding active read-and-respond mechanisms within the management systems of a facilitator, while providing practical examples of how a program actively applies a follow-on facilitation strategy.
