There are nine staff in the Enterprise Development Unit of my Department. The Unit is part of the Enterprise and Agencies Division. Of the nine staff, four have a direct involvement with the early warning system at different times. The system relies on information initially provided by clients of the Industrial Development agencies to their respective agencies and then in turn to my Department. The information provided can be highly confidential and commercially sensitive. The system provides me with information which is both timely and useful.
